Breaking Up

PETE YORN & SCARLETT JOHANSSON Breaking Up (2009 UK 9-track CD album - The album had its genesis in the aftermath of a breakup in 2006. After Yorn was unable to sleep for a week, he finally dozed off, only to wake with a start just minutes later. What had awakened him was a dream. 'I sat up in bed, and the whole thing was in my head, fully formed,' Yorn says, sounding as if he still doesn't quite believe it. 'I suddenly felt like I really needed to make a record in the style of Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot. Not that it had to sound like that, but it had to be a guy-and-girl conceptual thing. So then I asked myself, 'Who's Brigitte Bardot today? It's Scarlett Johansson.'. 'Pete told me that he'd had a dream that we recorded an album together,' Scarlett recalls, 'and with that momentum, he had written eight songs that he'd wanted to record pretty low-key. I've always loved Pete's voice and have been friends with him for some time. It sounded like an interesting little adventure. He used the Serge and Brigitte recordings as reference for the ambiance he was trying to capture. He liked the idea of two people vocalizing their relationship through duets.' 'Breaking Up' re-enacts the tempestuous course of a love affair on the rocks and comprises eight original compositions by Pete & Scarlett in the spirit of Serge Gainsbourg's recording with Brigitte Bardot, plus an interpretation of the art-rock classic 'I Am The Cosmos' by the late Chris Bell [Big Star]!)
