Nell Davies: "Never Wrestle With A Pig" video

Nell Davies made a video for Never Wrestle With A Pig, a track from her The End of the World or Whatever EP: "Part riot girrrl, part pop artist, Nell Davies attacks her material with a hammer and a smile. Look no further when in need of a song telling people to fuck off. This kind of ramshackle catchiness is irresistible."

Nell Davies: The End of the World or Whatever

English indie pop singer Nell Davies released a bunch of quirky singles in 2022. They were a joy to listen to, but she decided she should study the inner workings of music a bit more before making the next step. Fast forward to 2025 and six endearing tunes with a bite see the light of day on her The End of the World or Whatever EP.

Hitting the books has not taken the edge out of her craft and her wit is in full swing too, thankfully. What has changed a bit, are the arrangements and going for a fuller sound while she was at it. The basics were recorded in her old pigsty in West Penwith, after which the tweaking and smoother things were taken care of at StudiOwz in Pembrokeshire.

Nell Davies: Christmas Karaoke

English indie pop singer Nell Davies had a lot fun combining two things that are sure fire guarantees for feeling awkward: the Christmas office party and ... what for it ... karaoke. No wonder that people are prone to drink too much at those occasions.

She used the dreaded Comic Sans MS (the go-to font for office party invites) in the accompanying video, so people can sing along with her: "Everybody’s dancing, the office is heaving // Mariah fucking Carey and Shakin fucking Stevens // Everybody’s doing the Christmas karaoke – why aren’t you?"

HCTF review of Repeat After Me.

Nell Davies: Repeat After Me

English indie pop singer Nell Davies' uncanny knack for sardonic songs about the pitfalls in relationships is in full swing on her new single, Repeat After Me. Getting shafted by somebody who takes over the spot of the coveted one sucks. And it sucks even more that the same mistakes are highly likely to be made again.

The video was shot in the early morning at a remote Victorian folly named Rogers Tower in Cornwall. Being on a budget meant she had to play her own twin, but it looks great nevertheless.

Nell Davies: What The Heart Wants

English indie pop singer Nell Davies sings about the clash between brain and guts on her new single, What The Heart Wants. Getting out of a toxic friendship seems easy when your are not part of one. She takes a scalpel to her feelings, trying to cut herself loose, and not let nostalgic feelings about the past get the better of her. The video was filmed along the shores of Cornwall.

Nell Davies: Everything and Nothing

British singer-songwriter Nell Davies surprised herself when she inadvertently wrote a love song, albeit with a twist. Everything and Nothing is upbeat, with a toe-tapping fuzzy garage guitar part and tongue-in-cheek, blink-and-you'll miss it lyrics: "First time that I met you, I decided we're the same, so now you're living inside my brain".

HCTF review of A Sad Kind of Freedom.

Nell Davies: A Sad Kind of Freedom

British singer-songwriter Nell Davies keeps her streak of happy-sad songs going with her new single, A Sad Kind of Freedom, in which she tries to get away from the things that bother her. She went as far as to climb Ben Nevis,, Britain's highest mountain in Scotland - quite a long from Cornwall where she lives - but she could not stop mulling over stupid comments on Facebook and being both homesick and travel sick. The mind can be a funny thing.

HCTF review of Happy Birthday.

March 13, 2022

Nell Davies: Happy Birthday

British singer-songwriter Nell Davies has a knack for coming up with catchy, sunny side up songs. Her latest Happy Birthday is no exception, wishing the unnamed birthday boy to come across a nice cat to pat and that pigeons will drop their load on his enemy. There are traces of Tracey Ullman in her vocals, which fit the tongue-in-cheek lyrics perfectly. With a nice janggling guitar hook as an added bonus, this DIY effort is utterly charming. Comes with a homemade video with a rainbow, balloons, and a small airplane.
