Nicholas Woods and Kat Day are the creative force behind the London based audio/visual project known as The KVB. This dynamic duo already has a handful of impressive releases under their belts and their latest, Of Desire, is just as noteworthy.
Teetering between several worlds The KVB’s sound is not easily categorized. Their style is a masterful blend of early Goth, nu-wave, and shoegaze with the occasional hooky pop chorus thrown in for good measure. Of Desire resonates with a dark, mysterious undercurrent that is accentuated by Woods’ murmuring vocals, minimal synth melodies, and hypnotic drum beats.
