Vona Vella – Carnival

Description

Release Date: 27/02/26

Vona Vella blend the dreamy harmonies 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, and the bittersweet lyrical wit of The Beautiful South—woven into a contemporary sound that’s both gossamer‑delicate and fiercely robust.Following their acclaimed debut on Strap Originals, their signature mix of wistful indie‑pop and exquisitely blended male/female vocals reaches new heights on Carnival. Now a dynamic five‑piece—joined by drummer Jake Bott, bassist Claud J Melton, and guitarist Dexter Howell—their innate pop sensibilities are powered by a confident, thrilling propulsion. Izzy and Dan remain the core songwriters and vocalists, pushing into a wide-open space of possibility. Vona Vella may be named after two flowers, but there’s nothing twee here.
