“Like Portishead doing a Tarantino soundtrack… this is great!!” Huw Stephens, Radio 1
“With Smoky-voiced femme fatale Hatty Taylor on vocals, London-based three piece Vienna Ditto mix wild-eyed rockabilly riffs with sparse, atmospheric electronica.”

“Fantastically dirty… one of the catchiest choruses l’ve ever heard… made me want to dance round my bedroom with my hairbrush” Esther Press, The Fly Magazine
“‘Best Shot’ is a gorgeous, shimmering slice of film noir soundtrack pop, Hatty Taylor’s lazily spectral voice coasting on a funereal marching snare beat; it reeks of tragically failed romance, dark Parisian backstreets and claustrophobic regret, Beth Gibbons mentored by John Barry by way of Twin Peaks. ‘This Is Normal’ finds Hatty’s sweet vulnerability rolled away to reveal a predatory soul diva surrounded by siren synths as she croons “This is fucked up” in a manner even the most prudish maiden aunt couldn’t object to.
‘Wintertime’ is a bitter counterpoint to the classic ‘Summertime’, with its “Wintertime, and the living is hard” refrain. It’s not so much dreampop as fog-pop; seedily exotic tripped-out pop heard through late-night mist. “This is
fucked up”? No, this is fucking great.” Nightshift (Demo of the Month)
“First up are Vienna Ditto, who exploded into our consciousness this year with their astounding debut single ‘Long Way Down’, a dark, echoing runaway train of a song that showcases their haunting sound and frontwoman Hatty Taylor’s breathtaking vocals.” Maps Magazine
“sleazy surf pop with style and grace… accessable and ascerbic and laden with a huge deal of potential.”
Owain Paciuszco, God is in the TV
“Vienna Ditto have already got attention from the likes of Huw Stevens, Tom Robinson and er… the makers of Hollyoaks. Listening to their debut single ‘Long way down’ it’s easy to see why. It’s a slinky electro chanteuse kind of number – as hooky as the hand the famous pirate captain couldn’t play the piano with. Singer Hatty has a very lovely rude voice and is ably supported by reverb guitars, spry drums and what sounds like someone playing ping pong though a flanger.” Artrocker
