Jarvis Cocker & Chilly Gonzales - Room 29

Review by Karl Ludger Menke

Room 29, the collaborative album by Jarvis Cocker and Chilly Gonzales, is a mesmerizing and innovative musical project. The album takes its inspiration from the legendary Hollywood hotel Chateau Marmont and its Room 29, where many famous guests have stayed over the years.

The album is a concept piece that explores the stories and secrets of the hotel and its guests through a series of theatrical and cinematic vignettes. Cocker's distinctive voice and Gonzales' virtuosic piano playing are the perfect match for this ambitious project, creating a haunting and immersive soundscape that transports the listener to a bygone era.

The songs range from the melancholic ballad "Clara" to the playful and quirky "Tearjerker" and the edgy and experimental "Bombshell." Each track is a self-contained story that adds to the overall narrative of the album, creating a cohesive and captivating listening experience.

This song is dedicated at clara afton??

karltonkrill

This album is just awful. Something I RARELY say as my governing philosophy is, "there is good music and there is great music, there is no bad music." This release really makes me rethink this long accepted belief.

Ma che caaaaaaz

nurulimanc9544f74d0

does anyone know any covers of this song with a female voice? i'm really interested in using it for a short film (and would give credits of course) but the song fits perfectly because the main character is called clara and it's about a dysfunctional character

winterlotus

Nice, and I appreciated the "echos" of Erik Satie's Gymnopedies at 1:44. Bravo Mr Cocker and Mr Gonzales

ruttainterieurs

Clara starts of as a half-sister of Tom Waits' Martha, but she can definitely stand on her own feet.

saifelislamhassan

Sounds like the soundtrack to a Paul Thomas/Wes Anderson film. Punch drunk love/Moonrise Kingdom.

capitoltele88

This sounds too much like a solo piano track to me. I prefer it without the lyrics, plz.

thegutsyskinny

I don't want this album to be an underrated gem, Room 29 needs the praise it deserves!

firecostarica

I am falling in love with these songs, Room 29 my favourite so far, but this is just amazing

bier7511

Beautiful ! I went to the concert yesterday in the Barbican, it was phenomenal :) it is great that you have used Armellodie from Solo Piano 1, it fits the atmosphere perfectly !
