Fourteen Years is the first of three 10 comprising Charlotte Courbes third album. It marks her return to Honest Jons after two decades. Recently, Charlotte joined Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds, singing and playing scissors. Her recording Born To Lie featured prominently in the TV series Killing Eve. Spotify has just voted her track Rusty amongst the best of the last decade. After a cancer diagnosis last year, Charlotte felt the urge to produce and release new music. It became like a vital thing. MRI Song and Planet Ping Pong were recorded during chemotherapy. Mind Contorted is a duet with Terry Hall, also featuring Terrys son Theodore, and Noel Gallagher on guitars, in a cover of Daniel Johnston. The song Fourteen Years is the oldest inclusion. Meant for LVCs second album I Wish Dee Dee Ramone Was Here With Me it announces a fresh, freer direction. The sleeve exclusively presents new work by the celebrated English artist John Stezaker, in the first of a triptych. This EP is laced with surprise and subversiveness. Its refreshing candour sets it apart. Its a unique, compelling listen. I put out the first Le Volume Courbe single in 2001... she reminded me of a female Syd Barrett real psychedelic soul. Alan McGee When I first met her she was wearing a cape. She looked like a little piece of Lego. She told me she liked some of my songs but not all of them. (I hadnt even asked her opinion!) Shes beautiful, fearless and one hell of a tambourine player." Noel Gallagher Le Volume Courbe is a true original and a truly unique artist. There are not many artists I can say this about but I honestly think I love everything shes ever recorded." David Holmes Inspiring originality, fiercely independent, beautiful music, always years ahead of its time. I remember hearing Charlottes music for the first time and being immediately taken by the freshness, great melodies and utterly unique approach. Kevin Shields, My Bloody Valentine Charlotte is bewitchingly talented, a true rarity who has inspired a lot of creative people. The kind of woman songs are written about. Shes an artist that steals your heart away and then comforts you with her stunning music. Hope Sandoval, Mazzy Star
