I’m embarrassed to say I hadn’t previously been aware of Scarlett Johansson’s extensive music career, but it’s pretty formidable, spanning over a decade – so I hereby apologise. Pete Yorn has likewise amassed a prodigious back catalogue, dating back as far as 2001. The pair have joined forces on their new EP, the ethereal ‘Apart’, the follow up to their 9 track album, ‘Break Up’, released in 2009.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Pete Yorn is known for covering in his live shows, songs from those artists who have most influenced him. These have included tracks from the likes of The Smiths, and Bruce Springsteen. For ‘Apart’, he’s reworked a track by Brooklyn based band, The Echo Friendly. Originally recorded as ‘Worried’, on ‘Apart’ it becomes ‘Bad Dreams’, an upbeat song which has been selected as the lead single. It comes with a music video showing Yorn and Johansson driving along a dark road in LA. Johansson pulls out a smudged piece of paper, on which was formerly an address, but now only says ‘Apart’ and some numbers. The clip, directed by Sophie Muller, is very Lynchian in its execution, and fittingly, there’s a twist in the tale.<\/p>\n
