B-Real

    A year to the day since the arrival of their acclaimed 2023 Welsh Music Prize-nominated debut album, Get Real, CVC release B-Real, a new 13-track companion compilation, collecting all the singles and EPs from the last 12 months.

    The album includes five brand new recordings, comprising two new originals in ‘Charlotte’ and ‘Skeleton Key’, two incredible cover versions of classic tracks by Wings and Super Furry Animals, a previously unreleased acoustic version of the album’s ‘Good Morning Vietnam’, along with the current double A-sided single tracks, ‘The Remortgage Anthem’ and ‘Lady (Hear Me Tonight)’, which have been taking the roof off their December sold out shows.

    ‘Charlotte’ picks up thematically where the band’s biggest track to date, ‘Sophie’, left off, but where the latter is a song about how keyboardist Nanial’s girlfriend Sophie can sing, but won’t - the new song is another loving ode, but this one is from lead singer Cesco to his good lady Charlotte.

    Get Real

      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. It’s 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 don't think I’d be able to not do this, I don’t actively choose to, I’m just drawn to it”. Their lush three-part harmonies echo the music they grew up on - contemporary pop’s building blocks: the Beatles, Neil Young and the Beach Boys - rich, melodic and pristine music that’s steeped in rock’s history.

      STAFF COMMENTS

      Barry says: It wouldn't be hard to listen to CVC's new LP and imagine that it came from the psychedelic rock movement of the 70's, until the softening influence of 00's synth-pop enters the fray. It's this dedication to melodicism mixed with a firm knowledge of the classics that make 'Get Real' such an alluring proposition. Funky, inventive and great fun throughout.
