The Desert caught the attention of music fans and tastemakers alike with their debut Just Get High, a collaboration between singer-songwriter Gina Leonard and guitarist/producer Tom Fryer, receiving strong radio support. To follow up their first offering, the duo have released a video for new track Playing Dead, a sultry, brooding and emotive dream-pop piece.
Playing Dead was inspired by Gina moving home to live in a bubble with her parents in a tiny village, and is about the desire and struggles surrounding the pursuit of escapism. Recorded by Tom in his bedroom in St Pauls, Bristol, the track was one of the sparks that turned their early collaborations into what has become The Desert.
