Karen Elson / カレン・エルソン - The Ghost Who Walks / ザ・ゴースト・フー・ウォークス

イギリス出身のスーパーモデル、カレン・エルソンのデビュー・アルバム。夫でもあるザ・ホワイト・ストライプスのジャック・ホワイトがプロデュース、ザ・デッド・ウェザーやマイ・モーニング・ジャケットのメンバー等が参加。

Karen Elson's The Ghost Who Walks marks the debut solo release from the British singer/songwriter. Her transformation from fashion's favorite redheaded ingénue to beguiling chanteuse has been something of a slow burn. In 2003 she provided vocals for a version of Robert Plant's "Last Time I Saw Her" and in 2006 she recorded an English language version of "Je T'Aime..Moi Non Plus" ("I Love You... Me Neither") with Cat Power for a Serge Gainsbourg tribute album, but her main musical outlet has been as a founding member of New York City cabaret The Citizens Band, a downtown collective of musicians, performers, artists and acrobats whose lively Weimar-esque performances have enjoyed successful theatrical runs of their politically thematic shows.
