UK darkwave duo The KVB have announced a new album, Tremors, which will be out April 5 via Invada Records. The band says this one has “expanded on previous album themes of dystopia, apocalypse and the human condition, but with a more pessimistic outlook and deeper distrust than before. It also touches on themes of loss, and the resistance, lament and acceptance of inevitable change,” all via their brand of new wave noir.
The new single from the album is “Overload,” which pairs pulsing synths, acoustic guitars and breathy vocals for an alluring, windswept, ’80s goth vibe. “Overload embodies the dystopian pop aesthetic of the album,” say The KVB. “It’s about the dilemmas of the creative process, being dependent on when inspiration strikes, never being content with your own creations and striving to make something new and better. Ultimately, it’s relinquishing fear of failure, and asserting the desire to create.”
