Emika peforming 'Pretend' live at the Maria Am Ostbahnhof in Berlin, taken from her forthcoming debut album 'Emika' (3 October 2011 (EU) / 11 October 2011 (NA)). Video produced by Park Bennett (parkbennett.com).

'Pretend' is, in Emika's own words, "about all sides of fakeness, disbelief, dancing on the head of a pin. It begins with a synth I made to feel like a heartbeat, and ends with psychotic hi-hats playing a melody which will come get you while you sleep." Really, it's hard to describe it better than that.

'Pretend' is released as a double A side backed with 'Professional Loving' on 5th September 2011, on 12" vinyl and download.
