Taken from the rightfully acclaimed album IRM, Charlotte Gainsbourg’s new single Time Of The Assassins is a saccharine sublime snapshot of the album’s finest moments.

Melodramatic, subtle and with a strong French influence, it also delves gently into a whimsical dark edge also hinted at in this heart belting divine video.

Purple Revolver is in particular enamoured with the scenes in which Gainsbourg contorts and floats against gravity, staggering about the place at unreal angles like a Friday night gone a few intoxicants too far.

Kudos Charlotte, we’ve all been there.
