Donna Blue
Dark Roses
Moving from a dream state to lush sensory excitement, the duo behind Donna Blue invites you into a grainy, cinematic realm. For those who accept the invitation, the reward is tantalising: the twang of jangly guitars, sensual vocals, coolness and velvet curtains concealing a mysterious parallel universe. Once youre in, youll want to surrender to their noir-romantic sound. Their music reminds one of the likes of Nancy & Lee, Serge Gainsbourg and Julee Cruise - whilst also drawing inspiration from film composers such as Ennio Morricone, Piero Piccioni and John Barry. It leads the way into bygone, or perhaps, for the poet and dreamer, future days - offering an escape from the mundane as it transports you to a hazy Côte dAzur, or an old 60s spy movie.
