Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
We’re proud to announce a new release by the UK duo known as The KVB via our sub-label Cititrax. Combining shoegaze guitars, minimal synth melodies, hypnotic drum machine rhythms and reverb drenched vocals, The KVB was first formed in 2010 as the solo project of Klaus Von Barrel. He was later joined by his girlfriend Kat Day, who added synthesizers and abstract visual elements. Their sound can be described as dark, layered, complex and moody – an icy atmosphere juxtaposed by the warmth of distorted guitars.

Aside from actively touring, they have had quite a few releases in this short time span, including a limited edition cassette on FLA Records (“The Black Sun”), a 10” vinyl EP on Downwards Records (“Into The Night”) and two releases on Clan Destine Records (“Subjection/Subordination” and “Always Then”). Inspired by what we heard on these releases along with the recent inclusion of 'Dayzed' on Downward’s So Click Heels Compilation, we felt the time was right to present a full length album of The KVB’s latest material. The record is pressed on 180 gram ultra clear vinyl, housed in a high gloss printed heavy sleeve, limited to 999 copies.

"A pulsing, dark, and complex album, "Immaterial Visions" has the slick production and modern new wave styling of the "Drive" OST, with the vaguely disconcerting sensuality of a Swans LP. The droning and distorted guitars, completely unintelligible vocals, and throbbing drum sound combine here to make a feverish listening experience. These tracks leave you somewhere between uneasy and turned on."

Only Now Forever

What can I say about The KVB that I haven't already said? On "Only Now Forever" they've found the perfect blend of synth and guitar, their songwriting is solid, really solid, and it very much feels like they've reached the perfect musical sweet spot, ten songs that embody their artistic ideal. This is a near perfect album, a wonderful collection of songs by an especially wonderful band. You'd do well to pick it up, you won't be disappointed... rikm

On their 10th record, the Glasgow-based group serves up more wonderfully menacing, gothy synthpop, perfect for dungeon dancing. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023

Some of the KS releases from the eighties went from vinyl to cassette to cd. It's fun to hear them again as they should sound. kevbird
