Charlotte Gainsbourg at The Bell House

Last night I saw Charlotte Gainsbourg perform at The Bell House in Gowanus.

She was amazing, very sultry and hip. She whisper/sang all her songs, and the music was varied, from super slow pieces to more upbeat, complex songs. She covered Bob Dylan's She Breaks Just Like a Woman, which I really liked.

Unfortunately, the acoustics at The Bell House were sub-par. The band sounded good, but the vocals got garbled and lost. It was a shame, because I was very interested in her lyrics. When someone whispers to you in an intimate and sexy way you want to know what they are saying!

(The opening band was Dinosaur Feathers, and they didn't do much for me)
