Description
CVC (or Church Village Collective in full) hail from this sleepy village 10 miles north of Cardiff, nestling atop a hill in the Welsh valleys. CVC is comprised of singer Francesco Orsi, bassist Ben Thorne, drummer Tom Fry, keyboardist Daniel Naniel Jones and singing guitarists David Bassey and Elliott Bradfield.
Its worth noting that the latter two, despite never having met them, are related to Welsh royalty Dame Shirley Bassey and Manic Street Preachers James Dean Bradfield.
Maybe owing to genetics, Bassey states I dont think Id be able to not do this, I dont actively choose to, Im just drawn to it. Their lush three-part harmonies echo the music they grew up on contemporary pops building blocks: the Beatles, Neil Young and the Beach Boys rich, melodic and pristine music thats steeped in rocks history.
Out in 2023, Get Real, CVCs 11-track debut album will finally appear and bring with it a touch of Laurel Canyon to the valleys. Made over four sun-baked weeks (once their time was up, Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys) mixed the finished product) they kept it local by recording it in Bradfields living room!
