The KVB: “Captives”.
January 5, 2012, 1 comments
The thrilling cold-wave tunes of British citizen Klaus Von Barrel aka The KVB are still mildly underappreciated, though now sadly defunct techno label/artist collective Sandwell District showed some well-deserved love for his classic “Into The Night” in their latest (and last) mix that was dropped on New Year’s Eve. However, for the time being we may only hope that more folks will cherish the subdued, 80s-dripping synth madness of The KVB, but in any case I’d argue that the project’s new ten-track effort Always Then would be a good starting point. Listen to album opener “Captives” below and see for yourself. Highly recommended.
Always Then is available now on 12 inch vinyl via Clan Destine Records.
In related news, Von Barrel is about to embark on a European Tour, playing at Berlin’s King Kong Klub on January 22. For the whole list of dates check this site.
There’s also a new video for album track “Leaning”:
