The KVB + TVAM

Curfew 11.00 pm.

The Castle & Falcon, 402 Moseley Road, Birmingham B12 9AT.

Blending reverb-soaked shoegaze with minimalist electronic production, the KVB's
music reflected Nicholas Wood and Kat Day's mastery of atmosphere even as their
sound evolved over the course of the 2010s. Early releases such as 2012's debut
album, Always Then, dealt in brittle beats and sonic blasts that evoked Cabaret
Voltaire and the Jesus and Mary Chain in equal measure, but the duo's style became
more streamlined and sharp-edged on later efforts such as 2018's Only Now
Forever and 2021's Unity.

As well as his own regular headline shows in the UK TVAM has enjoyed the attentions of Blue Dot, End Of the Road, Green Man, Liverpool / Manchester and Edinburgh Psych Fests, and headlined Lewes Psych Fest.

“TVAM has created an album that is much better than it’s predecessor. Majestic on all counts and a major effort at stealing the crown from Jason Pierce” - Louder Than War

“As if Spiritualized had swallowed an upper instead of a downer. The euphoria with which TVAM play in rage on the second album is definitely contagious. Everything about this album bubbles, fizzes, shines and dazzles.” - Visions

“TVAM has become one of England's most highly rated cold post-new wave electronic acts...it could well be that the Englishman is laying the stones of the most interesting, retro and unifying movement since the arrival of Burial”
