Introdiction

"Introdiction" became Scroobius Pip's first official solo single - he had already released one solo album, No Commercial Breaks, back in 2006 (with no label and fake catalogue numbers!), but Distraction Pieces he considers more his first official solo album as it's the first on his own label, Speech Development Records.

The Distraction Pieces album saw Pip deliberately branch out and work with different collaborators beyond his net from his work with Dan le Sac, and "Introdiction" features a drum track from world reknown drummer Travis Barker, famous for his work with Blink-182 and +44.

The "Introdiction" video is very distinctive and low-budget, much like the video for his debut single with Dan le Sac, "Thou Shalt Always Kill." "That one I made for £100," said Pip in the London Real interview. "It was just me locked in a metal container, I cut my beard off, I shaved my hair, it had to be one take due to what happens in the video - it's tough, you can't really practice! The other people involved were all far more nervous than me for some reason, I was like 'I know the words!' We set fire to a hobby horse's head, and we'd covered it in petrol - that thing went up, and we're in this closed metal container, so the smoke starts to fill up, and I'm like, we need to get to the end of the take! Because at that point I've already cut my beard off, I've shaved chunks of my hair!"
