Hidden Pictures drop a new tune and a, uh, Cranberries cover

OK, so the new song from
Hidden Pictures is gloriously poppy and catchy — the sort of thing you'd love to happen upon in the 45 bin of your local record store. The drumming from Dead Girls' Cameron Hawk offers up some energetic backbeat, nicely complementing the duo of Richard Gintowt and Michelle Gaume Sanders. I'm also pretty sure that's Hawke with the joyful yelp toward the end of "Tangerine," as well.
Bonus? A cover of the Cranberries' "Dreams" on acoustic guitar and toy piano. It's adorable but free of the cloying preciousness that infects most songs of this sort (I'm looking at you, She & Him). Take a listen below.
