Duo habitué des identités multiples, David Tagg et Brian Grainger utilisent ici seulement une basse et une guitare, micro-mélodies noyées sous des drones monolithiques....

David Tagg and Brian Grainger formed VCV in Autumn, 2006. The band focuses on live improvisation for most of it's works. They usually only employ dual guitars (one positioned in the left stereo channel, and one positioned in the right) to give the listener the feeling that they are in the same room as the two performers. Since their initial formation, VCV have begun to use bass, dulcimer, harp and a variety of other stringed instruments in their recordings.

The band's "single" (as they refer to it) offers three longform tracks that sonically reach a little closer to home than 3753 Cruithne. Subtle nuances and intricate micro-melodies are buried under humming, monolithic drones, only to flow free of time and space. Crafted entirely on one bass and one guitar, this is the sound of VCV hunting and gathering on the black earth 1000 years into a desolate nuclear future. Unbreathable smoke atmospheres permeate while sultry siren songs in foreign keys can be traced through the fog. An infected yellow sun bleeds through the burlap sky, and this long buried time-capsule spews its rotted message. Is it heaven or hell?
