'Vona Vella' was recorded at The Libertines' Albion Rooms studio in Margate and produced by Jason Stafford (Jamie T, Sports Team, The Libertines) and Vona Vella. It will be available on CD and LPs on black, orange and blue vinyl - the indies-only blue vinyl also has an exclusive Night Time Cover. All twelve tracks on the album were co-written by the duo Dan playing the guitar and piano, with Izzy on guitar and flute... and joined by Jake Bott on drums. Having toured last year supporting the Libertines, Tim Burgess and Morcheeba and last month Peter Doherty, Vona Vella performed at The Great Escape in Brighton along with a headline show in London and an appearance at Dot2Dot Festival in May and supported Reverend & The Makers in Bristol on June 11th at Dareshack. Vona Vella comprises twenty-one-year-old singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Izzy Davis and Dan Cunningham. The band officially formed in Autumn 2020, after Ross Godfrey from the band Morcheeba heard their (then-unreleased) single 'Sun' and decided to remix it. Once released it proved an instant viral hit, racking up over 1 million streams. Vona Vella released their debut EP 'Go Outside Forever,' in early 2022, which was given a glowing review by none other than Paul Heaton (Housemartins, Beautiful South) and in January of this year a remix of the title track from the EP, 'Go Outside Forever,' was featured in the hugely successful NBA2K23 video game.1.

4 panel gatefold wallet. Seefeel return with their first full-length album in fifteen years - a beautiful, hazy and blissed out collection of fractured melodies and vaporous textures. In some ways, this can be regarded as Seefeel's 'dub' album - the deceptively cloud-like arrangements of Mark Clifford are somewhat ambient adjacent at low volume, but blasting out of a proper sound system, the cavernous bass undertow and skilful employment of effects are more apparent, messing with the listener's perception of time and audio placement. As always with Seefeel though, it never drifts too far into cold experimentalism or synthetic texture, the heavily manipulated vocals of Sarah Peacock lending the tracks a vital human element, with processed guitar loops allowing slivers of melody to drift through the trails of delay. The longtime perception of the band as sitting at the overlap point between electronic music and experimental guitar music meant that they were often overlooked during their original lifespan, not making music that was instantly recognisable to either scene. Over the years though, this blurring of genre lines increasingly looks prescient of where music was headed, steadily building a catalogue of music that hasn't aged in quite the same way as some of their contemporaries. Their influence has been cited by a new generation of artists such as Maria Somerville and Yu Su, and they return in 2026 with Sol. Hz, a collection of new tracks that further reinforce the idea that Seefeel's time has finally come.

Honing their studio skills and coining the phrase Dubhop, Supremely dedicated committed artists Matt James, Aaron Grain and Dan Sorce, FNDMNTL's debut , 'Subduction', arouses a fresh feel of deep-dub-downtempo-soul, acid jazz and hip-hop. Paying close attention to detail Subduction is like a mix-tape moving continuously, seemingly without break. The mind participates and the head nods subconsciously. 'Subduction' suits both intimate situations and intensive listening - provoking conversation. Reciprocated by the seducing cover art work by acclaimed artist George Vergette, this CD is one that will be on your MOST PLAYED list.
