CRYING AT THE PIANO WITH THE GIRLS

Judging by the new video for ‘Hologram’, practice sessions at the These New New Puritans HQ are an intense affair. Two girls, playing at a piano, grimacing and crying and filmed in black and white. It’s as simple (and as pompous) as that. The track itself is influenced by early 20th-century composer Benjamin Britten and I’m not saying that to out-pompous the director, but because Britten features heavily on the excellent Mixtape by These New Puritans for FACT Magazine.
