GRAMMY-nominated, South London trio PVA have shared a cover of Big Thief’s “Not”. The track is taken from a recently recorded ‘Future Artists’ session with Jack Saunder’s for BBC Radio 1. The cover follows the release of their critically-acclaimed debut album “BLUSH”, which was released earlier this month via Ninja Tune, landing at #2 in the UK Official Dance Albums Chart, #13 in the Official Independent Albums Chart, and #25 in the Official Vinyl Albums Chart.
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.
The band also recently released a new video for their distorted and palpitating album track “Kim”, and ahead of the album’s release, the band also 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.
The album’s release also followed closely on the heels of the band’s incendiary live performance alongside the likes of Burna Boy, Marcus Mumford, Loyle Carner, and The Big Moon on BBC’s Later… with Jools Holland.
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. The band are also currently undertaking their biggest UK / EU headline tour to date, which will continue throughout the rest of October and November 2022 in support of “BLUSH”, and will see them play a headline date at Village Underground, London tomorrow. The tour follows on from a series of intimate in-store gigs, and powerful performances across Latitude Festival, Standon Calling, The Great Escape, Route du Rock, Into The Great Wide Open, Congés Annulés, and Wilderness this year, as well as SXSW in 2021.
