Following their widely praised 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.
Ahead of the album’s release, the band shared a trio of singles titled “Hero Man”, “Bad Dad”, and “Bunker”, which have all earned significant plaudits across press and radio, with “Hero Man” being added to the BBC Radio 6 Music playlist, and earning major support from the likes of Lauren Laverne, Mary Anne Hobbs, and BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, who the band also recently recorded a ‘Future Artists’ session with (inc. a cover of Big Thief’s “Not”).
As further proof of the band’s mesmerising live allure, PVA were also recently nominated for “Best Live Performer” at this year’s AIM Awards.
