Track Of The Day: The KVB - Violet Noon

Another wondrous track taken from The KVB's latest album 'Only Now Forever'. The gorgeous, otherworldly 'Violet Noon' ventures down calming, ethereal avenues, glowing with a sad beauty as it slows down the pace. Its blissful, aeronautical properties are complimented wonderfully by its misty chords, demonstrating how the duo are really coming into their own.

Described as "darkwave" by some, and "psychedelic electronica" by others, to these ears, the London duo's music brings together the influences of Joy Division, OMD, the Jesus And Mary Chain, Neu! and the vast majority of the Mute Records back catalogue in a lysergic, dreamlike brew of shoegaze, Krautrock and techno pop. One of the best albums of 2018, many of 'Only Now Forever''s tracks are being played around Europe at the moment as Nicholas Wood and Kat Day continue their current tour. A review of an amazing gig they played in Bristol in November this year can be found HERE, along with exclusive live videos.
