Erica Nockalls

English vocalist and violinist Erica Nockalls creates a dark, intense brand of alternative pop music. Her unique style is evocative, dramatic and eerily intense.

Nockalls made a name for herself collaborating with a number of renowned bands and artists ranging from The Wonder Stuff and Echo and the Bunnymen, to Tronos, The Proclaimers and Immaculate Fools.

Partnering with Parisian studio producer/artist Jean-Charles Versari, the pair created album Dark Music From A Warm Place in 2021.

The record works within a genre-neutral template, swimming in honey-flavoured acid. With the use of gritty drum machines, luscious synths and unapologetic lyrics, angular violins provide an unpredictable journey. The material being cinematic from beginning to end, Nockalls produces a platform to deliver her own distinctive, brooding, off-kilter design.

September 2023 sees seminal band Echo and the Bunnymen perform their revered album Ocean Rain with The Liverpool Philharmonic. Bunnymen singer Ian McCullough invited Erica and Jean-Charles to open as special guests for the tour.

To announce the tour support, Erica Nockalls will release a new single and video for album track, Build Me a Ship, as well as a b-side cover of Roxy Music’s In Every Dream Home a Heartache (feat. Jean-Charles Versari). Here, the duo reimagine Bryan Ferry's lyrics transforming them into a twisted duet – Nockalls inverting the narrative and taking on the role of the blow-up doll.

Erica Nockalls – live on tour with Echo and the Bunnymen will take place on the following dates:

Sep 12 - Nottingham • Royal Concert Hall

Sep 14 - Edinburgh • Usher Hall

Sep 16 - Liverpool • M&S Bank Arena Liverpool

Sep 18 - London • Royal Albert Hall

Build Me a Ship / In Every Dream Home a Heartache (feat. Jean-Charles Versari) out September 9th 2023.
