Video of the Moment #457: Frankie and the Heartstrings

By Mary Chang on Wednesday, 20th April 2011 at 6:00 pm

Frankie and the Heartstrings from Sunderland released their debut album, ‘Hunger’, in February. From it comes the next single the band will release, ‘That Postcard’, to drop on 9 May on the band’s own Pop Sex Ltd. The video for the song reminds me of scrapbooking, in a good way – Heartstrings pop up at inopportune moments (out of the ocean, from mountains, etc.) while lead singer Frankie Francis sings to his true love. “Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh” – a truly swoonworthy moment.
