Picture Book are brothers Dario Darnell and Lorne Ashley, born in New York City and raised in Manchester, UK. Dario and Lorne have inherited a love of song writing and performing from their father August Darnell, lead singer and band leader of the legendary Kid Creole & The Coconuts.
Dario and Lorne have spent the last three years based in Liverpool, where they attended University whilst writing, recording and performing, often contributing their skills to other artists' work, whilst creating a musical agenda for their own project, Picture Book. In creating their own unique style of electronic dance music, they perform multiple instruments in their live show, often simultaneously, to create exciting and memorable live performances.
Picture Book will be self-releasing their first commercial EP "At Last" on 6th February. The four track EP was co-written and recorded with Grammy nominated vocalist Greta Svabo Bech, who featured on Deadmau5's "Raise Your Weapon". The lead single, "Sunshine", was produced by Picture Book, with additional production and mixing by super hot French DJ & producer Hugo Leclercq. "At Last" will be closely followed by a remix package in February 2012.
