Favorite track: I Know (feat. Jah Wobble).

David Dawson The violin is the 3rd dimension in a 2d musical scene and colour to a black & white canvas. Just love it.

Tim Croydon Dark, intense but accessible. A warmer, more analogue sound compared to the the borderline industrial pop of previous albums but with the same cutting lyrics. Erica really is not afraid to tame her output for commercial acceptability. Another emotive and stunning release. Favorite track: Eiffel's Eye.

about

DARK MUSIC FROM A WARM PLACE

What happens when a classically-trained violinist explores the more twisted neighbourhoods of alternative pop? The work of Erica Nockalls provides the searingly accurate answer. If her albums Imminent Room and EN2 showcased her baby-sweet but barbed worldview, then new set Dark Music From A Warm Place takes that genre-neutral template and drowns it in honey-flavoured acid.

Her songwriting is removed from the pop norm: Emotionally derelict, and melodically unsparing. This album is a tale of release and re-appropriation of oneself, a call of empowerment.

Dark Music From a Warm Place was conceived during a sad summer spent in Spain, then latterly mixed and produced in 2021 by Jean-Charles Versari in Paris, France.

Gritty drum machines, generous synths, cutting tones mixed with unusual violins and glass-sharp vocals: ‘Pesante’ melodies meet modern anthems.

Erica Nockalls’ conservatoire training as a violinist and vocalist are evident, but not defining. She chooses danger and experimentation with her violin, making it a tool of creation, rather than accompaniment.
Blunt. Honest. Generous. There’s a lid boiling on her British reserve.

“Elegant, experimental and atmospheric. Lynchian soundtrack at times. Excellent weirdy noises, wondrous violin and great production. A cracker LP.” - The Shend

about

Erica Nockalls England, UK

UK vocalist and violinist Erica Nockalls (The Wonder Stuff / Echo and the Bunnymen / The Proclaimers...) teams up and steps out with Parisian producer and artist, Jean-Charles Versari.
Audiences can anticipate Nockall's unique brand of feisty alternative music, birthing a monstrous entity of unapologetic lyrics, abrasive guitars lines, dark 80's pop sensibilities, and her trademark violin work. ... more
