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.

This EP comprises exclusive tracks "Lost," "Early Mob," "Your Coat," and "Walk It" before ending in "Face Of God," where we find LV's sound stripped back to its dark exoskeleton. The 38 is both a celebrated and maligned London bus route and was name-checked by Wiley in freestyles. The route was one of the last to be served by the classic hop-on-the-back Routemasters. It was a "bendy" bus, which were infamous for their ability to let fair dodgers nip on in the middle.
