Aussie Experimentalists Back With Album, Video & Tour
- Written by Marky Edison
Australian trio PVT (previously known as Pivot) have shared a new video for their recent single 'Another Life'. Their album New Spirit is due on February 17 via Felte. They have also just announced European tour dates with a London show on April 14 at Kamio.
PVT is an act that's embraced technology at every turn and their uncompromised songwriting and musical understanding have seen their first four albums released to global acclaim. They've been all over, both on their own steam and in the support of acts like The Arctic Monkeys, Gary Numan, Warpaint, Bloc Party, and Gotye.
2017 sees Dave Miller, along with brothers Richard & Laurence Pike, return with their fifth album. New Spirit suggests a reunion in what has become a hotbed for political and cultural intolerance: The New Australia. The country has succumbed to divisive politics and irrational fear. Obvious fraud and immorality driven by a gutless media and an indifferent public. Sound familiar?
But on the fringe, there is a new movement. One that's gathering steam. It's hopeful. Beautiful. Confronting in its peaceful spirit. This is PVT's home town and they're back to set things straight. Their uncompromising approach to musical self-determination has seen them battling labels, trends and sometimes their own audience, but the content has never been this sharp, and especially never this political.
