Valpolicella Girl

by Ben Calvert & The Swifts

/

about

‘Valpolicella Girl is a wonderful psych-folk jaunt that takes its cue from strange and off-beat touchstones informed by a collision of Syd Barrett’s quintessential English whimsy and the baroque pop of Scott Walker. Its a slightly surreal slice of summer sing along.’
Green Man Music

‘The jaunty Valpolicella Girl is a kindred carnival spirit to (The Beatles) Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’
NetRhythms

‘A breezy number complete with a 60′s tinged melody and a trippy pop hook that’s simply irresistible. The perfect soundtrack to hazy days and heady nights’
Rhythm ‘N’ Booze

lyrics

Valpolicella-Will you tell her in the afternoon?
Valpolicella, three for a tenner in the afternoon
Valpolicella, in the cellar, dust by afternoon.

Will you tell her you were riding a bike?
Or will you tell her you were on the strike?
Or will you tell her it’s all over soon?

Valpolicella Girl.
