"Spearheaded by David Holmes, in collaboration with film and TV composer Keefus Ciancia (True Detective), and songwriter-vocalist Jade Vincent (The Jade Vincent Experiment), Unloved are born of 60s girl groups, influenced by the great George ‘Shadow’ Morton, Jack Nitzsche, the soundtracks of Morricone, Nino Rota and the electronic sounds of Raymond Scott.

David met Keefus and Jade in LA in 2013, that same summer Keefus and Jade started a regular Tuesday night residency in Los Feliz called The Rotary Room. A collective of great musicians, including Woody Jackson (Red Dead Redemption), Gus Seyffert (Beck, The Black Keys), Jay Bellerose (T Bone Burnett) and Deantoni Parks (John Cale), forming informal ensembles curated by Jade, Keefus and David Piltch, with David Holmes invited to DJ between each band.

These common themes and sonic adventures led to the birth of Unloved, evoking the sounds and spirit of The Shangri La’s, Bruno Nicolai, The Paris Sisters, The BBC Radiophonic Workshop and Phil Spector’s wall of sound.

A band was then brought together at Woody Jackson’s VOX Studios in LA, where the sound they had envisaged could actually be realised. Further Unloved contributors have included the legendary Jim Keltner (John Lennon, Ry Cooder), Wayne Kramer (MC5) and Tommy Morgan (The Beach Boys, Elvis)."

Haha, i remember the days when David Holmes was just a local DJ playing around Belfast, before the days when he scored films and stuff. Fair play to him, he’s doing very well for himself.

It’s ALWAYS a pleasure to catch one of his DJ sets. The man knows his stuff and his collection must be insane.

This Loveless thang is really great. The night they put on sounds brilliant too…a real melting pot type of music night by the sounds. That night gets mad props for berthing this great album.
