Pin Me Down is a British/American band formed by Milena Mepris and Bloc Party’s Russell Lissack. Their two most known songs, which are streamable on their Myspace, are entitled “Cryptic” and “Pretty in Pink”.
“Cryptic”, Pin Me Down’s debut single, was released on 2 June, 2008 in Europe, proceeded by a iTunes UK digital exclusive version of the single on 19 May and a 12” vinyl release on 26 May.
Due to their packed touring and music schedules, the pair worked from different parts of the globe using the internet and digital recording programs to email each other songs, while honing their sonic ideas and songwriting in the process. The project naturally evolved.
“Cryptic” was produced by 2008 Grammy Award Nominated producer Alex Elena, who also played drums, and the single features remixes by Phones (Paul Epworth, producer to Bloc Party, Futureheads, Kate Nash, remixer to New Order, U2, Goldfrapp), Jamie Ellis (Battle) & Russell Lissack, and Dave P & Adam Sparkles, who have remixed the Klaxons, Simian Mobile Disco, and Bloc Party. And Martin Dubka remix, the bass player and co-producer of Cazals, who are releasing their first album on Kitsune, end of May.
