New Sounds: PVRIS dine at the table of dark alt-pop desires in ‘What’s Wrong’

s52Power.001

Studio 52 is a community artist space located in the heart of Allston, and is proud to support the Boston music scene and local artist community.


Ever since their conquering of the 2016 Boston Music Awards back in December — hell, even before that — we’ve spilled a metric fuckton of digital ink over PVRIS and their to alt-pop fame. So by now, you know the deal — and you’re either in or you’re out.

If you’re out, for whatever god-awful reason, allow the Lowell trio to ask one simple question: “What’s Wrong”?

That’s what is posed in PVRIS’ new single, and the latest taste of upcoming sophomore album All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell. The new LP is out August 4, right in the middle of PVRIS’ summer festival run. Before that, they’re on the road with MUSE, and afterwards, they head out on a headlining tour crowned by a homecoming gig October 12 at the House of Blues in Boston.

A portion of every ticket sold on their headlining autumn run will be donated to the Ally Coalition in support of LGBTQ equality. “We’re delighted to be working with The Ally Coalition,” says vocalist Lynn Gunn. “The promotion of equal rights for the LGBTQ community is very important to our band and fan base. We thank everyone who chooses to purchase a ticket and join us in supporting the cause. Looking forward to seeing all of you this fall.”

Spiking interest in the new single is its captivating music video, a black-and-white, gothic-as-fuck clip that finds PVRIS dining at the table of dark desires and needs.

“What’s Wrong” in the land of PVRIS? Not a damn thing. Full run of dates after the video.
