kvb: out of body

After touring the UK with Loop & Australia in December 2013 with the Brian Jonestown Massacre . The KVB's new six track EP is the culmination of a week long recording session at 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 have worked outside of their own studio set up at their home in South London. 'Out Of Body' is a further exploration of the bands 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 & 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 KVB is a group with a sense of urgency about it, to do what they need to do, with full commitment and without delay.
