Here now is the video for Sunday Girl‘s cover of “Self Control,” which I first wrote about a few weeks ago.
Basically, we’ve got a very pretty girl (Sunday Girl, to be specific) writhing around on the floor, along with some dusty old furniture and deer heads.
It’s a bit like a high fashion perfume commercial (which is great for me because I love high fashion perfume commercials), except the visuals are a bit darker than your usual pearls-and-diamonds glam fest (The Knife is coming to mind for some reason)–making this all the more of a gorgeous, Gothic affair.
I approve entirely.

I first heard about Sunday Girl thanks to a brief PopJustice feature posted back in late March regarding the singer’s largely brilliant debut (buzz?) single, “Four Floors.”
Today, I received an e-mail about the singer’s next move, a cover of Laura Branigan‘s “Self Control,” which you can now hear streaming above.
Muusers who may not be familiar with the original track may know it thanks to Infernal‘s hi-NRG cover back in 2006.
With her own rendition, Sunday Girl tackles the track through icy italo-disco melodies, moving across the song’s glittering soundscape with a kind of Sally Shapiro-meets-Annie mix of sleepy delivery and lush, layered coos.
It’s honestly gorgeous. I love!
