Got A Girl

Got a Girl is a USA duo of Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Dan Nakamura (Dan the Automator). They débuted with "You and Me (Board Mix)" (2013) and a début album is planned for 22 July 2014 (Bulk Recordings). Dan the Automator is a man of worldly tastes when it comes to the art of the collaboration. While mostly known for his hip hop production with Gorillaz and Deltron 3030, the dude has previously joined forces, in one form or another, with Zack de la Rocha, At the Drive-In's Cedric Bixler-Zavala, and Glassjaw's Daryl Palumbo — and that's only taking into account late-'90s post-hardcore heroes. With his newest collaboration, Dan takes a decidedly cinematic turn. Having hit it off with Mary Elizabeth Winstead on the set of the 2010 film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World — he was working on the score and she was starring as love interest Ramona Flowers — Dan the Automator invited Winstead to form the other half of a project that would become Got a Girl. Right from the jump, the two seemingly disparate artists found they were both surfing similar waves of inspiration. Each were especially enthused by the daft, dewy and even slightly degenerate sounds of 1960s French pop, that uniquely Gallic soufflé of girl group soul, café jazz, lush arrangements and groovy eroticism.
