Introducing the second release in Chapter’s (http://joinchapter.com) new music series, COMPOSITION_DISORDER with artist, The KVB.  Based upon the blending of disciplines of similar mind and direction coming together as an inspiration of sorts, COMPOSITION_DISORDER, features the artist’s own uniquely conjured interpretations of dark, distorted but emotionally powerful ambient sound. By creating irregularity in compositional spaces the perspective of scale and the listener’s place is shifted.

The second of the music series, Poetics of Space, is provided by The KVB (http://facebook.com/thekvb1). The KVB is an audio/visual project of U.K. duo Nicholas Wood and Kat Day.  This U.K. duo (whom currently reside in Berlin) blend reverb-soaked shoegaze with minimalist electronic production to create their delicate and ephemeral sound.  Formed in 2010 by Nicholas Wood and Kat Day, The KVB got started with a number of limited cassette and vinyl releases before their first full-length, Always Then, arrived in 2012. Two more albums, Immaterial Visions and Minus One, arrived the following year, Minus One being a proper release of material that had surfaced before in the form of digital downloads and extremely limited cassettes.

Poetics of Space was influenced by the strong, minimalist aesthetic of Chapter. The work is an immersion into this concrete landscape via machine-like processing of the drums. “We tried to capture the phenomenological experience of the architecture with the textured synths and guitar to create a solitary narrative throughout this imagined space,” describes The KVB. “We’ve also recently moved to Berlin, so that may also play a part.”

"an invigorating journey, the track underpinned by a sense of shadiness that feels all the more compelling as the track rolls on and on and on, the mood dense and foreboding aside, always threatening to suddenly let loose, but staying somewhat static instead, save for the occasional spike in temperature" GoldFlakePaint

"every song effortlessly pieces together a narrative of a trouble, a grungey, slow-core take on American songwriting that never feels like it's anywhere near a cliche" Monorail Music, Glasgow

"Conjuring up sleepy, hazy days... really pull you in with their lyrics" Ravechild

"sulky, angsty and strikingly beautiful in its delivery" Overdrive

"first appear to have a slower, solemn drone, yet their sound disintegrates into loud, melancholic, distorted noise" Indulge Sound

CHUMP are a sulkcore three-piece from Glasgow. “the kind of music you’d heard for last dance at the prom in a ‘90s teen dramedy… before the flames rise up and everyone dies.” It started as the sleepyheaded bedroom project of singer and guitarist (yeah, she knows it’s upside-down) Tara, and soon loudly woke up with the addition of drummer Matt and bass player Tony.

They've played shows with the likes of Chastity Belt, PAWS, and Diet Cig.

In late 2016 they recorded at Green Door Studios. These songs became their first EP, the cassette Treat Me Mean, which they released by themselves as a non-prank on April Fool’s Day. It’s all worked out though because they’ve had to repress that cassette.

Returning to Green Door Studios, they recorded their forthcoming 7” on Gerry Loves Records, ‘At Least We Got a Song Out of It’. A shrugging kiss-off of a song, a diss track for summertime. The b-side ‘Lose Your Life’ features Tony on vocals, calmly offering advice to the listener against a lullaby-esque instrumental.

IN MODERN USAGE, CHAPTER IS STYLISTICALLY COMPLEX, EVEN CONTRADICTORY IN DESIGN AND MOVEMENT DRAWN TOGETHER AS A UNIFIED WHOLE.  

CHAPTER MANIFESTS A TASTE OF IMPORTANCE WITH DESIRE TO EVOKE UNDERLYING, EMOTIONAL STATES OF GRANDEUR AND VISCERAL APPEAL FOCUSED AROUND THE INDIVIDUAL.
