THE STORY:
Back in 2011, Anna Bouchard, singer in the Houston, TX, based band Drowner, made a cheeky statement in a conversation on Twitter that she would love to sing a duet with Mikkel. This was too good an opportunity for us to miss, so of course we jumped on the idea.
We had already been working a bit on Stevie Nicks' "Stand Back" at that point, so we figured, why not turn the song into a duet?! All instruments and Mikkel's vocals were recorded in Copenhagen and Anna's vocals were recorded in Houston.
We did however not keep it at a recording only. Attending SXSW 2012 in Austin, TX, we decided to perform the song live at two showcases - one of them the now infamously legendary Sweet Tea Pumpkin Pie showcase at Casa Chapala (ask us about it next time we meet!)
The 2020 version has been re-mixed and remastered and might be a bit more new-wavey than the previous shoegazey version. We hope you enjoy!

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
This Nashville group draws on the classic sound of ’80s goth and gloom pop to create swirling songs with stately keys and haunting melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 27, 2021
