“Nakamura’s lush arrangements are bolstered by gentle hip-hop beats and Winstead’s seductive voice is given grit by playfully sinister lyrics” – NME
“A cocktail of ’60s French pop, café jazz, psychedelia, and Bond-esque lounge, shaken (not stirred) and served in the chilled martini glass of Nakamura’s classy soundscapes.”
-All Music Guide
I Love you But I Must Drive Off This Cliff Now is out today, July 22nd via Bulk Recordings. The debut album from Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Dan “The Automator” Nakamura has been praised for its “lush, melody drenched arrangements” by London’s Evening Standard, and described as “an airy confection, pure, sweet, and perfect for summer” by The Onion AV Club.
Available at iTunes and Amazon in digital, CD, and Vinyl formats, the album is also streaming in full this week on KCRW.com
“Somebody give us a cigarette to smoke like we’re in Paris in the 1920s.” – Noisey/Vice
“Dan the Automator reminds us of his classical training with nostalgia-pop production fit for a Tarantino film, but riddles it with Gorillaz-esque drums; Winstead, meanwhile, is perfectly cast as the soulful voice bemoaning a fantasy in the lounge spotlight as the synths blare.” – SPIN

Got A Girl’s enthralling debut album, sees Nakamura – whose innumerable, inimitable credits include influential production (Kool Keith/Dr. Octagon, Gorillaz) and membership in such visionary collaborations as Deltron 3030, Lovage, and Handsome Boy Modeling School – cooking up one of the most exuberant sonic confections of his brilliant career, a giddy and impressionistic setting for Winstead’s — known for her work in the films Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, The Spectacular Now, and next seen in Kill the Messenger — sweetly detached vocal delivery and nuanced lyricism.
