The KVB From: Southampton, United Kingdom If you believe the hysterical doom mongers the end of the world is nigh (again) and not even Indiana Jones can save us this time. Apparently an ancient Mayan chain of stationers forgot to order their 2013 calendar and therefore, obviously, a cataclysmic event will destroy the earth before the end of this year. With the world teetering on the edge of extinction it's hardly surprising that Glum Rock is undergoing a long overdue renaissance. Following [...]
If you believe the hysterical doom mongers the end of the world is nigh (again) and not even Indiana Jones can save us this time. Apparently an ancient Mayan chain of stationers forgot to order their 2013 calendar and therefore, obviously, a cataclysmic event will destroy the earth before the end of this year. With the world teetering on the edge of extinction it's hardly surprising that Glum Rock is undergoing a long overdue renaissance. Following the lead of The Horrors, bands like Toy, S.C.U.M and the under appreciated Suicide Party are creeping out of the undergrowth [...]
So while the world didn't curl up into an ever more blob-like ball and quiver until it all ended the moment 2012 struck, the industrial apocalyptica of LA duo Deathday feels dank enough to coax doomsday out from even the most atheistical of mindsets. Comprised of brothers Alex and Giovanni Guillén, vox redolent of Ariel Pink at his most apathetic are smudged over murky, if metronomic backing on the glorious No Future, half of a split 7" with UK doom mongers The KVB . Like a more mellifluous Factory Floor meddling in the ominous psych of Suicide, [...]

La première fois qu'il nous a été donné de nous frotter à la musique du très discret Klaus Von Barrel, celui-ci sévissait sous le sobriquet de Die Jungen , livrant une dream pop humant le cuir usé d'une vieille Plymouth, l'huile de moteur et la gomina. De doucereuses pop songs semblant s'ancrer dans la désuétude des sixties. The KVB changea la donne avec un Into The Night signé chez Downwards révélant les penchants du musicien anglais pour les ambiances plus ténébreuses, devenant par la même occasion l'un des emblématiques fleurons du label hétéroclite [...]

The KVB es el nombre (y las abreviaturas) del proyecto de un tipo ingles llamado Klaus Von Barrel en el cual ha decidido plasmar su mas enfermo amor por los sintetizadores y toda la vibra new wave que rodeaba los 80 dentro de unas tonalidades un poco oscuras. Obviamente su sonido en estos momentos no es algo que nos pueda impresionar debido a que en los ultimos dos años hemos estado escuchando una enorme cantidad de proyectos dentro de todo este circuito que se ha estado encargando de mantener vivo el espiritu original que en volvia el new wave, [...]
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 [...]
A travers ses deux projets concomitants, Die Junguen et The KVB , Klaus Von Barrel a confortablement meublé l'année écoulée, au point de délivrer - à l'occasion de son récent LP Subjection/Subordination , paru via Clan Destine Records - l'une des plus belles chansons du cru 2011, The Burning World ( lire ). Il ne faut pas plus d'une tournée européenne - démarrant dans moins de deux semaines et dont deux dates, le 14 janvier à Paris à L'Espace B ( Event FB , préventes ) et le 16 janvier [...]
The KVB , on ne présente plus mais on en parle encore, bis repetita. Pourquoi ? Parce que notre homme offre, avec l'obsédante ballade Sleep Walking - dont la mise en image est tirée de Yantra de James Whitney (1957) - sa quatrième vidéo de l'album Subjection/Subordination, à se procurer par ici sur Clan Destine Records ( lire ). Les trois premières étant à visionner par ici ou là . Mais aussi et surtout parce que Klaus Von Barrel investira l' Espace B le 14 [...]
New music video from Southampton's Post-Punk/Dark-Wavers The KVB, The awesome "Closing In" is taken from the cassette "Subjection/Subordination" out on Clan Destine Records. The video is based on old footage from Pierre Clémenti 1968 silent short "La révolution n'est qu'un début. Continuons le combat". Watch | The KVB – Closing In
Klaus Von Barel est (déjà) de retour. Après Into the Night, dont on avait évoqué le brio par ici , l'insatiable anglais saute de label en label dans le but de révéler sa musique toute trempée d'amertume et d'électricité. C'est ainsi qu'après Free Loving Anarchist et Downwards , c'est au tour de Clan Destine Records ( lire ), de recueillir le natif de Southampton pour un LP cassette, Subjection / Subordination , à découvrir d'ores et déjà en stream par ici et à commander en quelques clics par [...]
If you've been keeping up with London's The KVB aka Klaus Von Barrel (who I fell in love with after listening to Die Jungen) on various social media, you'll know there's a new... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
On avait découvert la musique de feu et de glace de The KVB , projet originelle de l'insaisissable Die Jungen ( lire ), via la sortie d'une cassette sur le label Free Loving Anarchist crée par Tara et James des Pink Playground pour satisfaire leur insatiable sens de partage. Les texans font une nouvelle fois preuve d'affabilité envers leur protégés de Southampton en leur ouvrent la porte du Label anglais Downwards , spécialiste dans l'édition limitée de vinyles particulièrement soignés. C'est ainsi qu' Into The Night - initialement parue [...]
Amazing video and Shoegaze pearl taken from The Kvb ep "Into The Night" Watch | The KVB - Hide & Wait Into The Night by The KVB
It's Too Late Lost I wrote about Southhampton's Klaus Von Barrel last week , but that was to promote his laid back, surf sounds of his Die Jungen project. Today, we're taking a complete 180 from those sounds to look at his other project The KVB , which is modern, fuzzy, dark, electric, neopsychedelic goodness that straddles the line from The Jesus & Mary Chain to A Place to Bury Strangers. His releases are a bit scattered throughout the web, but you can find his [...]
There's something about 'old-time classic' music that makes us (/me) feel both young and old. I guess it has something to do with our ability to reference the time that has passed and it also allows us to relive those memories as if they were happening for the first time (you know, when we were all alive in the 50s and 60s?). In any case, here's a new project by Klaus Von Barrel that goes by the name of Die Jungen, which means 'the young' in German. This is very different from what we have heard from him before (see [...]

Here are a few darkwave, neo-psychedelic tracks from Britain's Klaus Von Barrel. These were released recently over at Beco DSL . I would definitely head over there and grab 'em if I were you; it's def not too late. Let's be honest here, how many times could you listen to the A-side track, It's Too late before you get sick of it? I've lost count and I'm not even close... [MP3] The KVB - It's Too [...]
