Always Then (Five Year Anniversary Edition)

supported by

nicabreeze The band was a surprise discovery via Youtube AI (“my mix”). I saw/heard ‘Captives’ and was — well, captivated. As always I go for the atmosphere and vibe. It was already described for The KVB on their main page, beautifully. I just enjoy the music. Favorite track: Captives.

rikm Post-Punk Shoegaze bliss at it's very best, "Always Then" is a fantastic release that resonates and connects with the listener on a primal level. An essential release from an essential band...

BLVCKPOND grateful for the repress Favorite track: Leaning.

Greg Kaltenheuser Here it Comes! It's so relaxing! Favorite track: Here It Comes (2017 Version).

about

'Always Then’ is the debut album of The KVB, originally released in 2012 on Clan Destine Records. It was written and recorded in 2011 on a Fostex tape machine by Nicholas Wood, with Kat Day joining him to form a duo later that year.

This anniversary edition features the re-mastered full-length debut album and includes bonus tracks ‘Always Then Revisited’, 4 brand new reworked and rerecorded songs from the original album.

The original cover art featured a photo of a building in the centre of Mexico City, which was taken by friend and fellow musician Ela Orleans and the anniversary edition features new artwork with an updated cover photograph of the same building taken by the band in 2017.

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
