KTL – the collaborative unit made up of Editions Mego boss Peter Rehberg and Sunn O)))’s Stephen O’Malley – are to return with a new LP.

The new record will be titled V, continuing the trend set on 2009’s IV. The record, laid down at a range of studios across Europe over 2010-11, is set to be something of a departure for the pair. According to the press blurb, listeners can expect a “rich set of sound experiments far removed from harsh metal/noise blizzards of their early albums”. Moreover, the second track features a lush orchestral accompaniment, arranged by Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson and performed by the City Of Prague Philharmonic. V was recorded in some fairly illustrious studios: the list included Stockholm’s EMS, Paris’ Ina GRM, Bergen’s Tinitus and Prague’s Smecky.

V will see release on March 8. Ordering swiftly is recommended – the first 300 orders will come bundled with a free 12″ of out-takes from the sessions. The track list is available to scrutinise below:

Tracklist:
1. Phill 1
