kvb/flaamingos: split

The following self-titled release, the initial offering of an ongoing EP series, brings together recording felte artist and Los Angeles based Flaamingos with the Berlin by way of London duo The KVB. The EP series came about as a way for the label and artist to collaborate with aesthetically and musically like-minded acts not part of the immediate family. Flaamingos and felte knew they wanted to have The KVB be a part of this series immediately. The idea is simple. 3 songs on each side of all new material from both bands. Let the cross pollination begin. Flaamingos blend pounding analog drum machines, jumbling basslines that are as moody as they are thoroughly danceable, atmospheric washes of echo-laden synth textures and jangling guitar sounds. Like a hazily remembered dream, U.K. duo The KVB blend reverb-soaked shoegaze with minimalist electronic production to create their delicate and ephemeral sound.
