In 'Relax Baby Be Cool', writer Jeremy Allen takes each of Gainsbourg's studio albums in turn while exploring themes pertinent to the man's life and music: jazz, performance, provocation, appropriation, postmodernism, aesthetics, metamorphosis, muses, Nazis, film and TV, Surrealism, fame, and decline.
Full of new interviews from people who knew him as well as younger fans of his work who were born too young (Gainsbourg died in 1991), this brand new and essential title contains contributions from Jane Birkin, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Sly Dunbar, Jehnny Beth, Will oldham, Sparks, Air and many more.
