The KVB Release Out of Body Mini-LP
THE KVB RELEASES OUT OF BODY MINI-LP ON JUNE 3, 2014
One of Alternative Press’s 100 Bands You Need to Know (2014)
“blend of motoric throb, lead bass hum, wraith-like vocal, then keyboard drifts and an aural mist of hiss over everything.” – MOJO (4/5)“This is a fresh, fierce and frightening record all of its own.” – NME“The KVB sound like Joy Division in your dreams. That’s a compliment, and a f*cking elephantine one of that. Minus One is like a recondite missing link between Unknown Pleasures and Closer, ticking off an entire wishlist of headily familiar JD signifiers, yet with more of everything somehow… an integrity and legitimacy of its very own.” –RECORD COLLECTOR (4 STARS)“The KVB walk an impressive line between tradition and individual talent” – TIME OUT LONDON
THE KVB return with the new
Out of Body
mini LP being released on A Recordings on June 3, 2014. Listen and share “Across the Sea” at:https://soundcloud.com/cargorecords/the-kvb-across-the-sea#t=0:07
This new six songs are the culmination of a week-long recording session at Brian Jonestown Massacre’s Anton Newcombe’s studio in Berlin last autumn. During which they recruited the help of Joe Dilworth (Stereolab) to contribute live drums to the recordings. This was the first time the band has worked outside of their own studio at their home in South London.
Out Of Body is a further exploration of the band’s interest in phenomenology, bodily immersion and consciousness. Introspective lyrics are suspended in dream-like melodies, further expanding upon the duo's hypnotic aesthetic, which they explore both sonically and visually on the record.
The KVB is the audio/visual project of London youngsters, Nicholas Wood and Kat Day, who combine reverb heavy wall of sound guitars, minimal haunting strings and grinding bass synths, messed up motorik drum machine beats and delay drenched vocals with a backdrop of imagery to accompany the symphony, that’s nothing short of life affirming.Such full sensory assaults have seen The KVB’s live following swell and their gig schedule become busier all the time, with multiple European headline tours as well as a West Coast USA Tour in summer 2012 since the release of their debut album Always Then. The duo ended 2013 with the release of the highly praised Minus One (November, A Recordings) and two high profile tours: the UK with Loop and Australia with the Brian Jonestown Massacre.
The KVB is a group with a sense of urgency about it, to do what they need to do, with full commitment and without delay.
