CMU Approved
Approved: Picture Book – In My Head
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 6 September 2012
Pop duo Picture Book are an outfit we’ve quietly had our eye on for some time, so it’s been nice since the beginning of the year to see their name flash up increasingly frequently. Comprised of brothers Dario Darnell and Lorne Ashley (the sons of Kid Creole & The Coconuts frontman August Darnell), they released their debut EP, ‘At Last’, in January. The four-tracker was co-written with singer Greta Svabo Bech, who has collaborated with Deadmau5 and fellow CMU approvee Sakaris.
Their next EP, ‘Songs About Aimee’, is due for release next month, and the video for lead track ‘In My Head’ was posted to YouTube earlier this week. A wonderfully pained pop track, which seems to constantly try to hold itself back from leaping completely over the top, you can watch the video below (though maybe avoid it if you’re not a fan of quick flashes of eye surgery, torture and other such things) and you can grab a free download in exchange for your email address here.
