THE KVB
Unity INVADA
Electronic-industrial-shoegaze duo explore a deeper unity
8/10
Ten years after beginning their musical partnership, Kat Day and Nicholas Wood got married. This sense of unity and bond features throughout the album, from the industrial-electro charge of “Unité” to the pair sharing vocal duties for the first time across the album. Pristine electronics, punchy beats and dreamy vocals coat an LP that weaves between light and dark. “World On Fire” has an irresistible pop hook to its psychedelic electronic propulsion, whereas “Sunrise Over Concrete” feels much more dystopian, with brooding, menacing and ominous synth lines. It’s the sound of two people deeply interlocked.
