Delirium Tremens

Description

Originally released in 2016, ‘Delirium Tremens’ was Mick Harvey’s resumption of his series translating Serge Gainsbourg’s songs into English after a 20-year hiatus. Both volume one (Intoxicated Man) and two (Pink Elephants) are cherished classics and introduced English speakers to one of the most legendary songwriters of the 20th century. The album covers a wide cross-section of Gainsbourg material, from 1976’s ‘The Man With The Cabbage Head’ (L’homme à Tête De Chou) to ‘Deadly Tedium’ (Ce Mortel Ennui) and ‘Coffee Colour’ (Couleur Cafe) from the late ’50s and early ’60s.
