Vienna Ditto are the London-based duo of Hatty Taylor and Nigel Firth. Reportedly the pair first met when Nigel taught Hetty the guitar when she was 11 years old. On their website they describe themselves as a ‘Voodoo Sci-fi Blues’ band, which sounds pretty accurate. Radio 1′s Huw Stephens’s description of them being like ‘Portishead doing a Tarantino Soundtrack’ (particularly if the film in question was Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill) is also pretty spot on. But for me Chvrches collaborating with The Cramps also hits the nail on the head.
Their debut album Circle is out on June 12. In the meantime, their next single, to be released on June 5, is entitled ‘Long Way Down.’ And it’s brilliant.
