FYI The KVB ultra limited(100) Mirror Being Cassette that came out late last year (I got one from my kids for Chistmas) has been pressed up in a gentlemanly format by Invada (800).

This showcases more of an electronic side and it's good stuff.

The KVB - Mirror Being

You can buy it in record shops and direct from Invada.

I found out about them several months ago. I can't remember if it was from OSG or somewhere else. Doesn't matter, I dig them. Even better that it is all Jags and JMs!

New Split mini elpee with Flaamingos out on the rather good Felte records.

Get 'em while they are hot, only 250 pressed, or digitool if you are in touch with the phuture, either from the Bandcamp or from your favoured specialist.

I've been remiss in not slapping a reminder in this thread about the new album. Combination of forgetting and not posting about records much due to the fatuousness of such an endeavour but here goes.

There's a full stream on yootoob; The KVB - Of Desire. It's on Geoff Barrow's Invada records and early copies are blue like Husky eyes.

I saw them again not so long ago & they didn't disappoint. Thanks for the heads up!

New elpee Only Now Forever just crossed the drawbridge at castle Shadowplay, has anyone else got it? I'll be honest and say I wasn't exactly lying awake waiting on it's arrival but I really like it. I starts off in more typical waters with (what we oldies used to call) an signature electrobilly motorik counter punch but as the elpee develops new colours emerge with tracks within touching distance of Chris and Cosey or at least Death in Vegas with Sasha Grey (Into Life) and a real late model John Foxx vocal feel on songs that are bathed in slick coldwave with one song even reminding me of Xmal Deutschland at their most glacial.

The KVB - On My Skin

The KVB - Above Us

The KVB - Afterglow

To be honest these songs aren't highlights but you can get more of a feel by listening to the shop samples at juno.

Cool. The KVB is in rotation at Chez La Mort...

I was reminded of them (often) when I was in Cologne a few weeks back...

My copy arrived today too. I'm just on side A just now. I like them. I like what they are doing now.
Their last gig in Glasgow at The Hug and Pint was a treat. I'm going to see them a week on Wednesday and hope to have a chat with them.

Listening to Only Now Forever at the moment, it's ok, not really offering anything new thus far.
If OSG has tort me anything...
