Rising indie-pop artist Banoffee\u2019s debut album is out in February, and she\u2019s released a new single from the LP, \u201cCount on You.\u201d<\/p>\n

The music video<\/a> features the Australian artist sparring with herself and others at a fencing camp (a la The Parent Trap<\/em><\/a>), as she sings about comforting someone in the midst of fighting their own inner demons: \u201cI\u2019ll sit here \u2019til the lights go down\/<\/span>You can fall asleep\/<\/span>I\u2019ll sit here till the breaks go on\/<\/span>In your head a<\/span>nd body.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis video aims to take some heavy subjects and speak about them in a light-hearted yet eerie way,\u201d Banoffee explained in a statement<\/span>. \u201cWorking out this balance was probably the hardest part, although falling into a frog and slug-infested, manky ass pond rivals it for first place. There was a lot of sweat, dirt and laughter involved in the making of this clip and it was a thrill to make.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

She added, \u201cMy co-director Will McDowell and I had a pretty ambitious vision for the budget we had, and the lead-up was just as hectic as our one shoot day. Training for the fencing scenes and practicing fencing-inspired choreography was so much fun, and like all my videos, I was so happy to be showcasing friends and their skills through my work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Banoffee, in addition to producing her own music including two EPs, was a member of Charli XCX\u2019s<\/a> backing band when she opened for Taylor Swift\u2019s<\/a> Reputation tour. She will release her debut album Look at Us Now Dad<\/em> on February 21st via Cascine and Dot Dash.<\/p>\n

In October, she released the single \u201cTennis Fan\u201d<\/a> featuring Empress Of, with a video directed by Quinn Wilson (Lizzo\u2019s creative director). The upcoming album will include a remix of the Sophie-produced \u201cRipe\u201d with a guest verse by Cupcakke.<\/p>\n

Banoffee has also announced four shows in the U.S. this spring, including sets at Austin\u2019s South by Southwest Festival.<\/p>\n
