Saccades is the solo project of Nicholas Wood, a UK musician who is also one half of the synth-post-punk duo The KVB. The project is based in Berlin and presents a different direction from his work with The KVB, moving away from that band’s dark, synth-led post-punk sound.

Background

Wood develops Saccades as a separate solo outlet alongside his work in The KVB. The project emerges after a break in The KVB’s touring activity, when he spends time working on material under the Saccades name.

Release and sound

The project’s self-titled debut appears on Fuzz Club. It is described as shifting towards psychedelic pop, with a more immersive and lighter texture than Wood’s other musical output. The artist’s listed styles also connect Saccades with dream pop, shoegaze, post-punk and indie pop.
