(2015) The KVB - Mirror Being        


Review:
In their brief existence, London duo The KVB have won some influential friends. Anton Newcombe of Brian Jonestown Massacre recorded and released 2014’s ‘Out Of Body’ EP, while ‘Mirror Being’ – a cassette collection of “unreleased instrumentals and analogue experiments” – is now out on Geoff ‘Portishead’ Barrow’s Invada. It’s easy to see why Barrow might be into it: the likes of ‘Dys-Appearance’ cleave to the same eerie synthesizer template that’s powered his recent Ex Machina soundtrack. There are also germs of songs, such as ‘Fields’, a Suicide-like mope of clappy drum machine and doomy muttering. But really, it’s all about atmosphere, the sort that gives you fantasies about being a protagonist in some dystopian ‘80s sci-fi movie when you’ve just popped out to buy milk. — nme
