Bloc Party guitarist's side project announce debut single

Bloc Party guitarist Russell Lissack’s side-project Pin Me Down have announced their first release.

The transatlantic duo will release a 12-inch remix single of ‘Cryptic’ this Spring.

Lissack’s New York-based bandmate Milena Mepris also revealed the pair have been penning new tracks and posted on the band’s blog that “we’re also hard at work rehearsing. I just bought a Microkorg keyboard, which I’ve wanted for a long time, and it has been amusing me with weird sounds. Also Russell and I are writing some new UK garage-tinged jams”.

‘Cryptic’ will also feature on the forthcoming Kitsune Maison 5 Gold compilation alongside tracks from Late Of The Pier, MIA and The Teenagers.
