New single ‘Boombox Serenade’
Jonathan Bree (The Master of Misery) returns with an eerily creepy (but also deadpan funny) video for his new single "Boombox Serenade", which is taken from his forthcoming album Sleepwalking, due out on 8 June.
A hybrid of a Jane Austin novel and the iconic boombox scene from Say Anything (starring John Cusack) - the video shows our masked hero galloping in on a trusty steed, wooing his love with a boombox under her window. An avante-garde structure for a pop song the track itself stretches the boundaries musically by dropping half a tone every two bars for about 45 seconds and then repeating itself three times, Jonathan Croons a surprisingly catchy melody over the top that ties it all together.
Jonathan has also announced a European tour in August. His only performance to date was at the Others Way Festival last year and was described as a highlight of the evening. For those who missed it the set was captured on film.
