Vanessa Bley, daughter of late jazz pianist Paul Bley and pioneer video artist Carol Goss, is best known as front woman for haze-pop band Beast Patrol, noted Band to Watch by Rolling Stone, and the jazz-noir group Twin Danger, described as "The Sound Of Frank Sinatra Meets The Clash" by NPR. Bley co-wrote and produced Twin Danger's self-titled debut album with saxophonist and guitarist Stuart Matthewman, the co-founder of Sade. The album, released by Decca / Universal Classics, went to number one on the iTunes Jazz Chart and received four stars from Downbeat, leading to an interview on NPR’s All Things Considered and shows around the world. In addition to her two bands and solo records, Bley scores film and art installations, including a recent multi-sensorial perfume installation for International Flavors & Fragrances and Sony Arcade. In 2015 Bley edited the audio for the film Eyes of the Moon, which debuted at the Marfa Film Festival. Most recently, Bley relocated to Santa Ynez, CA where she recently completed another solo record entitled, "Life & Death," inspired by the passing of her father and the move from New York City after 14 years, to Los Angeles. The first single, "Sunset Hangover" premiered 11/11. The full album was released August 3, 2017.
