Nothing To Declare video created by PanOptic for Laptop. Released 1999 via Island Records.
Supported by daytime rotation airplay by Xfm and Steve Lamacq’s evening session. An inexplicable synthpop behemoth.

“Hartman casts himself as the protagonist in Opening Credits, a 12-part tragicomedy about failed relationships (romantic professional) and their resonating damage.
Set against a musical backdrop that updates new wave’s synthesized, romantic sweep (the Human League’s Dare! springs to mind), its well-oiled irony stings and tickles.”
High praise from New Music On The Verge.
