Villa In France ‘Burned Out’

Villa In France has released their new single ‘Burned Out’.Villa In France are a three-Piece Indie-Rock band from the North Coast of Northern Ireland consisting of Aidan Davidson (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar), Nino Morelli (Lead Guitar, Backup vocals) and Matthew Gillan (Drums). 

‘Burned Out’ presents Villa In France’s earnest songwriting through chilling indie rock. The verses brood and ferment within a hypnotic and eerie guitar melody as Davidson croons “living in sandcastles, blood on their hands to get to the top” before the crashing chorus interjects with a spectacular abrasive sonic assault. The band showcase their refined and evocative musical prowess within the track’s dynamic soundscape – the song meanders between haunting verses, searing interludes and a corrosive crescendo while acid-soaked guitar embellishments and ground shaking drums create an intense and irritated atmosphere throughout. The result is an immersive and exciting wall of sound that is a joy to listen to again and again. ‘Burned Out’ is a compelling new tune from Villa In France.

Villa in France ‘Man on a Bridge’

Villa in France have released their 3rd single ‘Man on a Bridge’. Villa In France are a 4-Piece indie rock band from the North Coast of Northern Ireland consisting of Aidan Davidson (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar), Nino Morelli (Lead Guitar, Backup vocals), Adam Moore (Bass) and Matthew Gillan (Drums)..Their debut single ‘1990’ released on September 13th 2019, gained over 7000 streams with their nationwide tour opening them to a growing audience.Their 2nd single also gained popularity in the media, being put on the 2019 Northern Irish songs of the year.

‘Man on a Bridge’ is a jaunty yet chill indie number which shows Villa In France’s mature songwriting. With slicing sharp guitars, rumbling bass and punchy drums the bands buoyant backdrop is steeped in their usual energetic style.The theme of suicide is presented with dry matter of fact vocals as the rippling bass and lamenting guitar entwine on a sweet melodic foundation – creating a conflicting turmoil and bitter sweet contrast. With a shredding solo soaring over the bands biting soundscape ‘Man on a Bridge’ is an impressive track from Villa In France.

About the track the band said “The song is our take on mental health/suicide awareness and the thought process of a person going through this, we were inspired to write this song after Matthew Gillan (drummer) and I Nino Morelli (Guitarist) went through a personal experience, talking a stranger of a bridge in Derry a few months ago, seeing the effects of this person’s mental health first hand was very eye opening for us and after telling the story to Aidan (Singer) he used our unique perspective to write a song about the culture surrounding it. Our hope for this song is that people can connect with the lyrics and story and hopefully spread awareness about mental health in Northern Ireland especially in Derry.”
