Vona Vella - Carnival

The dreamy harmonising of Everything But The Girl. The propulsive urgency of The Strokes. The lilting folk-pop of The Coral. The introspective songcraft of Belle and Sebastian. The bittersweet, lyrical side-eyes of The Beautiful South. Vona Vella have all these elements and so many more, all weaving together to form a contemporary sound both gossamer delicate and fiercely robust.

Since their eponymous debut album in 2023 (released on Strap Originals, Pete Doherty’s
label), the seed of their signature sound – wistful indie-pop harmonies, exquisitely blended male/female vocals – has not so much grown as erupted through the dream-pop meadow into a towering, flowering beanstalk. Today, with their second album Carnival, the former indie-pop duo have spectacularly evolved into a dynamic five-piece band. 
two flowers, but there’s nothing twee happening here.
