The Preatures have been keepin’ it pretty quiet of late. Guitarist Gideon Bensen left to carve his own path in March, and the Sydney rockers have been low-key since – though they did play a great set at Splendour In The Grass last month.
They teased a new tune during that set, the retro-pop sounding I Know A Girl, and today they’ve brought it out as a single – their first single, in fact, since their debut album Blue Eyes Planet in 2014.
Have a gander:
The clip was directed by friend and lead singer of 90s band Ratcat, Simon Day, and also stars model Alys Hale and artist Kitty Callaghan. Talking about the process, singer Isabella Manfredi said she wanted it to feel like “a series of photographs”:
We had a bunch of camcorder footage of us ‘working’ in the studio and then Simon shot the extra scenes with us. We wanted it to feel like a series of photographs. It was a huge relief when the Alys and Kitty agreed to be in the clip too. They inspired the song so it was only natural they be part of it. Sure, we had to pay them a lot of money to pretend to be our friends. But they¹re both great actors and I expect they’ll go far after this. Home and Away look out.
We’re keeping our ears to the ground for more from these guys.
