PVA - BlushSouth London band PVAs stunning debut album BLUSH consolidates the beating pulse of electronic music with the raw energy of a life affirming gig and reveals more about the trio than theyve 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,

combining the lightness and bounce of their best singles with the sonic textures of field recordings

Even though the various lockdowns slowed the band’s momentum for a while

they all reflect realities

‰۝ Mammoth‰۪s fittingly beefy eponymous riff-monger

it's a fair bet that the double exclamation mark and orange and black spine of Impulse quickly comes to mind

Dinked versions are only available in participating Dinked shops

That duality dovetails with the thematic friction running through the album
