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.
