Leicestershire's answer to Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg, Vona Vella (Izzy Davis and Dan Cunningham) release their eponymously titled debut album, through Strap Originals this summer.

A sensation of twelve indie gems, that encapsulate the duo's artistry for sunny soundscapes with poetic lyricism, not always that cute as it seems on the surface.

`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 blac and coloured vinyl, 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, too.

Further headline shows and festival appearances will be announced shortly. 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 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.
