‘Playing Dead’ is the second single from London-based girl/boy duo The Desert; a collaboration between singer-songwriter Gina Leonard and guitarist & producer Tom Fryer.
Originally featured on Gina’s solo ‘Catch EP’, ‘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. Now 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.
