Music & Travel

Welcoming 2017 with some memories of the really nice gig The KVB gave in Barcelona in April last year... I had seen them live for the first time at Primavera Sound in 2015 and had really enjoyed their show back then. Seeing them at their very own gig, without the unavoidable limitations that the format of a festival imposes, was even more enjoyable. Hope to see the third round soon!

Another one of the nice discoveries this edition of Primavera Sound had in store for me. They were described as some sort of missing link between The Cure, Joy Division and New Order. Obviously, that description sounded very promising to me. But to be honest, it would be a rather quick summary, since the British duo doesn't seem to stick to one particular sound rooted in some sort of 80s nostalgia. On the contrary, they sound much more eclectic than they are described and I really felt like taking a journey along with these catchy, dark, sonic waves that they are experts at delivering.
