In a union of fashion, arts and music, Bally collaborates with Emmy Award nominated director Francesco Carrozzini to push the boundaries of creativity. Starring the feted actress, model and singer Josephine de la Baume, and her brother Alexandre de la Baume, they form the musical duo Singtank. The song 'Coming Down' from their latest album features as the soundtrack to the film.
A portrayal of a Los Angeles dwelling actress enduring another long telephone interview, de la Baume perfectly captures the complex and parallel feelings of success and ennui often afflicting the modern celebrity, all whilst looking over the beautiful yet lonely landscape of the L.A Hills.
Formed by Joséphine de La Baume (vocals) and her brother Alexandre de La Baume (vocals, guitar), Singtank's sound has often been compared to modern music icons such as: David Bowie, Pulp and the Pixies. Having released their first album of playful and sunny pop in May 2012, they will release their second album, 'Ceremonies', in September of this year. The first single ‘Can You Hear Me’ was released last June, "a starbust of French psychedelic reggae-pop, with arrangement by Joséphine’s husband, Mark Ronson" according to The Times.

Built by iconic American architect John Lautner in 1956, the Harpel House sits top the LA Hills and is a true homage to European Modernism; a visual expression that is wholly aligned with the Bally aesthetic. After being altered by previous owners, in 2008 it was restored to its original condition by current owner Mark Haddaway, who even went so far as to recreate doorknobs and light-fixtures.
