New track is about “ignoring people’s imperfections”
Nottingham-based five-piece Vona Vella have released their first single in two years and announced they’ll be hosting their own club night in their home city.
‘Over and Over’ was recorded at the Albion Rooms studio in Margate and produced by Vona Vella and Jason Stafford (The Libertines, Jamie T, Sports Team). Vona Vella say of the track: “It’s about ignoring people’s imperfections so you can be close to them. Whether it be at work, or just in life, we’ve been bumping into a lot of people who piss us off, but you just have to get over it.”The video for Over and Over was filmed by Barnaby Fairley at the Great Escape festival in Brighton on May 14 this year and then edited by legendary music photographer and filmmaker Roger Sargent (The Libertines, Fat White Family, Baxter Dury).
Vona Vella was started by singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Izzy and Dan, who set about making thrillingly infectious dream pop as a male/female duo, reminiscent of Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin.
The band officially formed in Autumn 2020, after Ross Godfrey from Morcheeba heard their single ‘Sun’ and decided to remix it. Once released it proved an instant viral hit, racking up over a million streams in the blink of an eye. The band released their debut EP ‘Go Outside Forever’ in early 2022, which was co-produced by Liam Gallagher guitarist Mike Moore, with the title track was featured in the hugely successful NBA2K23 video game, followed by the self titled debut album Vona Vella ijn July 2023.
Most recently they’ve launched their regular new music night Vona Vella Presents At The Grove in Nottingham. Singer, Dan, who owns and runs The Grove nights and recording studio says: “Since opening The Grove we’ve met and worked with so many talented artists with huge potential that we felt we had to do something to help support them”. The first night of Vona Vella Presents will be on August 13 with Vona Vella themselves headlining.
Vona Vella are: Dan Cunningham (vocals, guitar, piano), Izzy Davis (vocals, guitar, flute), Jake Bott (drums), Claud J Melton (bass), Dexter Howell (guitar).
