Vonavella + Support

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. Carnival is the result, a deftly crafted collection of mostly guitar-led, dazzling indie-pop, a sound made uniquely their own through stunning dual vocals, where Dan’s Jeff Buckley-esque tone merges with Izzy’s echo of The Cardigans Nina Persson. For the last two years, their lifestyle fed into the both the panoramic musical spirit and acerbic lyrical themes. Both now 24, and a couple, these are poetic, observational songs on the nature of human relationships, on the foibles and fallibilities of both friendship and romance, of what it means to be a striving, creative young adult in 2025.
UNDER THE RADAR (8.5/10)

“There really aren’t enough superlatives to bestow on Carnival other than to say beg, steal, and ultimately buy a copy because with any luck, by the end of 2026 Vona Vella will hopefully be household names.”
