Velvet. Hazily recalled dream states. Descending through Coraline-esque light tunnels into a shimmering parallel dimension. Those are just a few ways we’d comparatively describe the world one enters upon watching audio-visual duo The KVB’s new music video for their song “Violet Noon.”
“‘Violet Noon’ is a dark love song set against the backdrop of the apocalypse,” the band explains, citing the sounds of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra as influences. “While the world falls apart all you can think of is the person you want to spend those last moments with.”
Shoegaze-soaked and reverb-heavy, the song blends minimalist electronic production with twinges of psychedelic dreaminess for a final product that feels as angelic as it does devilish. “Violet Noon” is the fifth track from The KVB’s 2018 album, Only Now Forever—an appropriately enigmatic title for a collection of equally enigmatic songs and their visual counterparts.
