Jarvis Cocker announces new collaborative album with Wes Anderson for ‘The French Dispatch’
Jarvis Cocker has collaborated with director Wes Anderson for a new companion album of French music to tie in with the latter’s new film The French Dispatch.
Anderson’s latest movie is set for release on October 22, with the film’s accompanying soundtrack – which includes Alexandre Desplat’s original score – set to arrive on the same day.
The French Dispatch soundtrack LP also includes Cocker’s cover of the French pop hit ‘Aline’, which was originally written and recorded by the singer Christophe in 1965.
Cocker and Anderson have collaborated further to curate a full companion album of French music, featuring covers of songs that were originally released during the era that the new film is set in.
‘Chansons d’Ennui Tip-Top’ includes renditions by Cocker and his solo band JARV IS… of tracks by the likes of Françoise Hardy (‘Mon Ami La Rose’), Serge Gainsbourg (‘Requiem Pour Un Con’), Brigitte Bardot (‘Contact’) and Jacques Dutronc (‘Les Gens Sont Fous, Les Temps Sont Flous’).
