Day partnered with the file sharing service BitTorrent for an exclusive bundle with the release of Epigrams and Interludes.[14] The package was downloaded more than 1 million times in the first week of release.[15]

Reception

The album debuted at No. 2 on the UK iTunes charts, beating Justin Timberlake's release The 20/20 Experience.[16] The Examiner claimed the album to be just as 'delightful and jaunty' as Day and praised the album for its 80s New Wave and '60s music' sound.[17]

She Walks Right Through Me

She Walks Right Through Me is the fourth single from the album. The song also has music video.

The video was shot in 2012. It shows the story between Alex Day and his imaginary girlfriend who "appears from nowhere". Also it has scenes with Alex Day walking away from hooligans and dancing on a rolling background of rainbow colours during the chorus. At the middle of the video the girl comes to Day's house and then she appears with him on portraits and videos. At the last seconds the girl is sucked in a vacuum cleaner while Alex Day is vacuuming the kitchen.
