New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Currently splitting time between their Northern Italian hometown of Padova and the UK's capital, songwriters Vidal & Curma are a duo making a name for themselves on the London circuit. Playing in some of the most prestigious independent music venues in the city, their reputation has already won them a residency at the revered Proud Camden, where they were invited for repeat showings by popular demand thanks to the innate energy and sense of fun in their songs.
Their music boasts a loose, anarchic freshness without compromising on quality, giving an acoustic twist on the indie likes of The Libertines, The Strokes, Mac Demarco, and
Velvet Underground to name a few. But perhaps their closest comparison is less well known - both Vidal and Curma are huge fans of Django Reinhardt, a gypsy guitarist from Belgium who was active from the 30s to the 50s. Reinhardt single-handedly invented the gypsy-jazz genre, and both band members consider him the best guitarist of all time.
His brilliance has clearly rubbed off, and the new three track EP 'Another Plane' is a real, offbeat, acoustic treat.
Specialising in writing songs about everyday problems faced by many, song themes vary from the difficulty of maintaining relationships nowadays, where everyone travels and moves a lot ('Another Plane'), to everyday situations that can lead to deep contemplation ('Tonight'). The final track, 'Never Say Again', is about the unpredictability of meeting someone special in a massive city like London.
With each track boasting different elements which make them special individually, the combination of all three tracks makes for a very consistent release. And it's all tied together with an acoustic irreverence that really sets them apart from other, more pretentious, peers. It's an approach that clearly works, with the band already getting the attention of Universal
Music Group A&R Manager Fausto Donato. A sign of things to come.
