London trio PVA make music that feels bodily and obsessive. In a culture where dance music often skews bloated and hyper-polished, they tap into something more potent - closer to the shoddy, shady spirit of early Chicago house. The deadpan vocals, the 303 vocals, all of it is present, but sharpened into something visceral and contemporary.

New single ā€˜Send’ offers another vivid glimpse of their upcoming album’s core fixations: physicality, desire and the unstable edges where vulnerability flirts with euphoria. Built on a post-electroclash pulse that feels both claustrophobic and liberating, the track crystallises the trio’s creative identity - music engineered around tension and release. 

Mechanical repetition, warped sampling and a low-end that feels blown out in all the right ways set the stage for Ella Harris’s voice as it moves between incantation and confession.

That sense of escalation is no accident. As the band put it, ā€œWe wanted to showcase a more developed execution of our familiar industrial post-club chaos. It’s an atonal exploration with industrial rhythm; mantra vocals asking you to pray away the feeling of being stuck in cycles of rageā€. 

The focus on drums, on pushing the acoustic kit into its own post-club dimension, and on bass run through cavernous rooms gives ā€˜Send’ the physical depth they describe, music engineered for when you need both release and rupture.
