Electronic-indie duo HEAD BALLET face new beginnings in "To Know Yours"
Straight out of the midst of a break-up, HEAD BALLET exorcise their pain on the cathartic “To Know Yours”.
Head Ballet is a bit of a kismet creation – Kiera Court and Danny Casio found themselves living together at the beginning of lockdown in 2020, and from there started creating music together. Merging contemporary production with a classic indie-pop core, “To Know Yours” is the third single from the pair, and their most powerful so far.
The emotional intensity of “To Know Yours” is fierce. There’s often a moment in the kind of pop songs that flood arenas with feeling where they start melancholy or quiet, then build to a huge climactic bridge and bring the whole thing to a peak, though, on “To Know Yours”, most of the track feels like that raw, immense peak of feeling. The nostalgic bassline builds the track up all the way through, and the striking vocal delivery reverberates alongside it in an effortless outpouring.
There’s a fitting sense that the track never reaches its own peak, instead ending feeling still desperate and dissatisfied with the outcome – which makes sense, considering it was written when Kiera was just two weeks beyond a break-up of her own.
“’To Know Yours’ encompasses the turmoil of going through a break-up and not being able to comprehend them not being in your life anymore,” the pair explain further. “It was written and recorded a couple of weeks after an intense break-up of Kiera's, so everything was still raw. We took the grief and turned it into a song.”
With that, Kiera’s ex plays a character in “To Know Yours” that’s more omnipresent than you may expect - “funnily enough, we wrote over her ex's guitar loop too, which was definitely one way to incite the emotion.”
