    Quite comfortably the duo’s best album to date, Unity is – literally – like all your favourite bands rolled up into one.

    It's the sound of two people deeply interlocked. [Feb 2022, p.25]

    Unity feels richly varied instead of disjointed, and it's a testament to Wood and Day's creativity that they're still finding fresh ways to express themselves this far into their career.

    Immersive and entrancing. [Jan 2022, p.90]

    The female/male synth fused with rock duo is a saturated market but on Unity The KVB showcase why they’re worthy of attention.

    By cause and effect, the music submissively ambles between full-on 80s throwback mode and stylish juxtapositions of different sensibilities, sometimes frustratingly so for those inclined to want to feel or hear something new. More often than not, The KVB are simply great at reconfiguring their core influences in fresh ways instead of blowing it up into an all-out pastiche, which isn’t an easy thing to do when your music summons such a specific set of atmospherics.
