Frederik Jehle and Josh Turner formed The BV's in 2016 after meeting on a university exchange programm in Cornwall and becoming roommates. They released their debut album, Speaking From A Distance, in 2017 and the follow-up EP, Interpunktion in early 2018. In summer 2018, the BV’s returned to the house in Cornwall where they met to record their second LP, which is scheduled for release on Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten in 2019. Their new single is called 'Every Story Is A Ghost Story' and is out on 7" vinyl on Cloudberry Records. Both the title song and the b-side 'Happy, Alright?' are indie-pop gems following the duo's unique and distinctive sound. Make sure to check them out below!
After the success of their debut album Speaking From A Distance in April 2017, German band The BV's are releasing today their brand new EP 'Interpunktion' on Augsburg label Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten. The 5-track EP is the result of recording sessions at Bear Cave Studio in Cologne, during the band’s tour with The Luxembourg Signal in September 2017. The EP includes two tracks planned to be recorded in the studio as well as three extra ones, which were improvised and recorded live in one take.
Pressed on clear vinyl and limited to 200 hand-numbered copies, each EP comes with unique, handmade artwork by The BV’s guitarist/singer Fred, consisting of a handprinted monoprint on A1 tracing paper, cut into seven pieces. The digital edition comes with its own artwork, also designed by Fred. 'Interpunktion' resembles a sonic journey through jangly-gazey-pop sounds where the listener is invited to imagine and add their own "punctuation".
