SPILL NEW MUSIC: WARFIELD MEETS THE KVB FOR TRIUMPHANT REMIX OF DEATHROCK DEVOTIONALS CLASSIC

WARFIELD MEETS THE KVB FOR TRIUMPHANT REMIX OF DEATHROCK DEVOTIONALS CLASSIC

BLACK HEATHERS/CLEOPATRA RECORDS

Goth grand master Justin Warfield’s new single is a wish come true.

He explains, “As a longtime fan of The KVB, they were at the top of the list of artists I would want to collaborate with. Be it a remix, a feature, or even a tour, they’re just super creative and I really respect their consistency, their vision, and their integrity.”

Veterans of the UK’s audio-visual electronic post-punk scene, the duo of Nicholas Wood and Kat Day have been working together since 2011 (Wood alone carried the flag for a year prior to that), releasing some nine albums (plus EPs and more) in the years since then.

WARFIELD, meanwhile, is the first true solo project by She Wants Revenge frontman Justin, releasing the much-acclaimed Deathrock Devotionals Vol 1 EP earlier this year, five songs including the video hits “All The Fun (Kiss Kiss Kiss)” and “Jet Plane,” plus a taster for the upcoming volume two, “Fades.”

Even as the applause flowed in, however, Justin was looking to get a fresh take on some of the songs, and The KVB were never far from his thoughts.

“I reached out and found out they were also fond of the work I’d done in the past.”  The closing track on volume one, “Get Away/Far Away,” he says,  “immediately came to mind as a fitting song for them to put their spin on, so while it wasn’t even a single, once they said they were down, I knew it had to be.”

The result really is the best of both worlds, The KVB’s characteristic ruthlessly percolating electronics beneath, behind and all around Warfield’s icy vocal.

“Their take is just an absolute banger. I love what they retained, as well as how they flipped it into something uniquely theirs.”

Intriguingly, the two parties had never met at the time the remix was cut – in fact, their first encounter came less than a week ago, when The KVB dropped by She Wants Revenge’s performance at the Forever Now celebration of alternative culture in Milton Keynes, UK.

“It’s always wild when a relationship, be it creative or otherwise, starts online and then you meet afterwards. In this case, them being lovely people only made the collaboration that much sweeter.

“I cannot wait for people to hear it, as I’m sure fans of mine who aren’t familiar will fall in love with them, and for those who are, they will be over the moon to see the names side-by-side and hear the results.”

“Get Away/Far Away (The KVB Remix)” is now available on all platforms.
