Keysound Recordings presents the highly-anticipated debut album from London production trio LV. Routes was written and recorded in intensive bursts over a 12 month period, and heavily features London vocalist Joshua Idehen, who first collaborated with LV on their 2010 Keysound 12" 38 EP. LV is, at the moment, a studio project, not a traditional band, but "live" playing is still key to their sound -- as is serendipity. Their first release as LV was the Globetrotting/Takeover 12" on Hyperdub in 2007. Although it was not something they were previously involved in, it positioned LV in the "dubstep" scene -- although they admit they don't see their music as belonging to any one genre. Since then, they have released three further 12"s on Hyperdub, including last-year's kwaito-funky dancefloor phenomenon Boomslang, and have also recorded for other influential labels including Hemlock, 2nd Drop, Ramp/Brainmath, and Soul Jazz.
