'Private Lawns' is the first single to come from the brother/sister duo that features Julia on lead vocal. Her sound is childlike, reminiscent of Bjork and blends perfectly with the understated backing track.
The musical talents of the pair, and their long time co-conspirator Mitchell (on drums), are not immediately evident from this track but the acoustic, striped down approach works well with its dusty trumpet, elegant guitar and lingering bassline.
The song is a rather cheeky wide eyed appraisal of urban living; it manages to be moody yet melodic and withstands repeated listens. It comes from their 2006 'Chocolate and Cigarettes' EP.
The video for 'Private Lawns' was directed by the siblings Stone and features an array opf their freinds family at a masquerade party.
