Album Notes & Community Reviews
Considered one of his greatest conceptual masterpieces, Serge Gainsbourg's album narrates the surreal, deeply poetic tale of a man with a cabbage for a head driven to murder by a tragic breakup. The record relies on highly experimental progressive pop, heavily integrating early reggae-rock rhythms with intensely mysterious, beautifully bittersweet spoken-word performances.
