Powell, The KVB, Vessel, and Bandshell all feature.
Burma Camp’s release on Avian’s 10″ sub-label Mira is a new venture for The KVB’s Nicholas Wood aka Klaus von Barrel, a fuzzed-out sonic excursion, set out for more industrial sights. Since their emergence in 2010, the KVB have put out a number of releases, including a 10” appearance on the DNS series from Karl O’Connor’s Downwards imprint, as well as releasing Immaterial Visions on Veronica Vasicka’s Minimal Wave offshoot, Cititrax.
The KVB’s frontman has adopted a new alias focusing on the harsher edges of techno – get a taste here.
Regis, Silent Servant and Shifted all remix The KVB for a forthcoming Immaterial Visions Remixes 12″ from Cititrax.
You have to wade through so much carefully orchestrated bullshit and content driven waste dressed up as music that it’s refreshing to come across a band whose ambitions seem a whole lot purer than striving to become the latest bit of sync bait. The KVB are one such band; the vehicle of the wonderfully named Klaus Von Barrel and synth player Kat Day, the KVB exist to put out records and play gigs and they do both of these functions with consummate ease.
London duo The KVB have teased their forthcoming album for Cititrax with a new video for lead track “Shadows”.
London duo The KVB will release an album on Minimal Wave offshoot Cititrax in late February – with a rather illustrious looking remix EP to follow.
The Downwards label run by Karl O’Connor is preparing to release So Click Heels, a CD compilation of artists that have featured on the label’s highly prized DO series.
Allow yourself four minutes to sink willfully into the deep caverns of reverb-drenched sound occupied by The KVB with this video for their unreleased track, “Dayzed”.
HTRK, Soft Metals and Innergaze are amongst the artists to feature on the rather excellent looking Electric Voice Compilation, a self explanatory double LP compilation that will be released soon on the Canadian label Electric Voice Records.
