Beck produced and wrote this album, essentially a collaboration with Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Charlotte told the story about their working together: "I really respect his work, so when I asked him I didn't expect him to say yes. We met up in the studio and he said we'd have to see if it worked well together for the both of us. We started by doing three songs together and then realized we had good musical chemistry. The album was made bit by bit at his house in Los Angeles. At each stage, it took a new direction. I went to see him and I had just had a serious accident and had to do some MRI scans. [IRMs. -ed.] I felt like the best way for me to personally involve myself in the album was to speak about that and make music about it. I really wanted to find a musical element to [MRIs]. Beck's response was that he couldn't think of something more exciting. He would start off with a rhythm and that's why my father's percussion album was important. The beginning of every song originated from a rhythm he had either recorded before, or I saw him creating. It was really magical getting that understanding of how he wrote and composed songs. It was so easy for him. He would go away with his notebook and then come up with stuff, just like that. | ||
