The band draw their inspirations from an eclectic catalogue of music, influenced both by what their parents played to them growing up and by their own musical discoveries. Merging these influences into a blend of bedroom pop with hints of 70's psychedelic music found the band quickly picking up praise from multiple outlets.

PVA Announce Debut LP 'BLUSH', Stream "Hero Man"

London electronic/dance trio PVA have announced the release of theirhighly-anticipated debut album 'BLUSH'.

Following on from the release of their critically acclaimed single “Untethered”, the album is due out 14th October via Ninja Tune. Pre-order your copy here.

Arriving closely on the heels of their 2020 EP “Toner”, the band’s stunning debut album sees them further consolidating the beating pulse of electronic music with the raw energy of a life-affirming gig and reveals more about the trio than they’ve ever previously shared. The eleven blistering tracks from the group, Ella Harris and Josh Baxter (who share lead vocals as well as handling synths, guitars and production) alongside drummer and percussionist Louis Satchell, are made from a formula of acid, disco, blistering synths, the release of the dancefloor and cathartic sprechgesang post-punk.

New single “Hero Man” offers a freeing and powerful new look into the latest stage of PVA’s musical evolution. The rhythmic track combines ethereal synth lines with propulsive basslines and precise, energetic drumming, whilst Harris’s self-facing lyrics build into the vocal hook of “can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t go to work, I can’t leave”. Thematically, Harris explains that the song is about “a relationship with yourself that is restrictive and closed off,” going on to say that it is “an expression of this frustrated anger at masculinity and a resentment at being unable to free yourself from that and explore the world.”

Check out the album's tracklist and listen to "Hero Man" below.

BLUSH Tracklist:
1. Untethered
2. Kim
3. Hero Man
4. Interlude

Local Suicide & Skelesys Release "Moustache" Music Video


Berlin based producer/DJ duo Local Suicide and Buenos Aires native DJ/producer & multi-instrumentalist Skelesys have released the video for their collaborative single "Moustache".

The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from Local Suicide's debut album ‘Eros Anikate’, which came out in May through their label Iptamenos Discos. Grab your copy here.

"...a tribute to Dalí and his legendary moustache. But beware! The title of the track may seem humorous, but the instrumental is far from being funny. On the contrary. It's a complex production, at the crossroads of new wave and post-punk, all sprinkled with touches of EBM. "Moustache" is largely magnified by Vamparela's vocal performance. Add to this, a dark wave atmosphere punctuated by a groovy and omnipresent synth superimposed on floating pads... That's it, you're in space with moustaches floating around you... (Have we gone too far? Maybe.) In short, we had a lot of fun on this devilishly danceable track to the rhythm of "Dalí" chanted in the background."

While the track crescendos into an ominous buildup of synths that continue to mesmerise you, the famous Vamparela vocals are the perfect surrealist playground that Dali himself would be proud of. Contrasting the playful with the serious, this track is the perfect oxymoron with post-punk and EBM madness, of which we’d expect nothing less from the two acts coming together.
