Bring in the "Frou Frou" videos!

As many of you might know, Immi once collaborated with Guy Sigsworth. They released their only album, Details, in 2002. They both write, produce and play instruments on the tracks, while Heap also provides the vocals. Frou Frou disbanded (amicably) in 2003 to go their separate ways musically and have denied the possibility of another Frou Frou album.

In 2002 Frou Frou signed a record deal with Universal Records, on the Island Records imprint in the UK and Europe, and MCA Records in the USA. They released their first, and only album, Details, in August 2002. Featuring a wide range of electronic music, with elements of trip-hop, pop and rock, the eclectic, intricately produced tracks use a wide range of organic instruments from cellos, autoharps, guitars, keyboards, and Indian drums, with layered vocals from Heap. The album received critical acclaim, but this did not translate into the mass sales the duo had hoped for. "Breathe In" was released as the first single internationally, and reached number two on the Italian radio airplay charts, and debuted in the top 50 in the UK singles charts, but the follow up singles "Must Be Dreaming" and "It's Good To Be In Love" were shelved from commercial release in the UK, due to lack of radio and TV interest.

However, both "Breathe In" and "Must Be Dreaming" became minor hits in Asia, particularly in Indonesia, where both singles became Top 10 hits in Indonesian Airplay Chart, respectively at number 7 and 5. A video was also made for a fourth single from the album; the closer, "The Dumbing Down Of Love", directed by Joel Peissig (who later directed Heap's solo video "Hide and Seek").

I personally love Frou Frou's work and thought they'd definatly deserve a spot on this blog. As said above, there were a total of four videos released. Located below, click the links to be forwarded to Youtube. Enjoy!
