Live Review: WATCH: Richard In Your Mind 'She Took The Sun Away'

17 February 2012 | 12:00 pm | Hannah Story

Richard In Your Mind are pining over lost love- Yes, bearded men get their hearts broken too. Who knew?

Looks like RICHARD IN YOUR MIND have a girl on their minds. Yes, it’s an ol’ fashioned break-up ballad, and it’s refreshing to see someone of this calibre wandering around moping. Richard Cartwright does it all- making noodles and a mess, hanging out in PJs, Facebook stalking, mourning over old photos, even drinking excessive amounts of tea.

Oh and going outside is a no. You can’t do that. She took the sun away anyway so there’s nothing to see out there: until it rains of course. Rain will mend your broken heart.

It really is lovely though. I adore the shots of the apartment, the quiet before the song starts, even just the way it’s been filmed; all the close-ups get a big tick. Looks like a really hip apartment- so much vinyl, so many books…

Yup, it’s a true Richard In Your Mind song from the lovely album, Sun. Definitely worth picking up a copy and checking them out live. I guarantee you’ll have a rollickin’ psychedelic good time.

Catch Richard In Your Mind at Bondi OpenAir on February 21- they’ll be playing with Spooky Land before the main event, Labyrinth, starring Bowie in all his crotch-stuffed glory. Then on February 29 head to FBI Social for a sweet little lunchtime set. Delicious.
