PVA – London’s Trip-Hop-Pop Trio Chill Out On 2nd Album ‘NO MORE LIKE THIS’

4 February 2026

Band:PVA
Who: A genre-hopping London trio, intuitively blending club music and
a smart pop sensibility with the more organic elements and instrumentation
of new-wave and post-punk.

Album: NO MORE LIKE THIS
Their 2nd.

Press info: “This record dives into repression as a dismissal of authenticity. It reflects on how we misremember and remain uncertain about what is true or real. Immersed in the waters of others’ wants, the album asks: What do we truly desire? How can we know what genuine want is?

The Quietus says: “No More Like This is a rippled watery reflection of PVA’s work so far – familiar yet distorted. Their prior releases, such as their (2020) EP Toner are echoed in the group’s continued musical exploration of queerness and the body. No More Like This is intelligent but not chin-stroke music.

No More Like This sees the familiar and unfamiliar shake
hands, like a hallucinatory introduction between friends.”


The disturbing artwork

TUTV: PVA mix trip-hop-pop and electro throbbings since they entered the scene
in 2017. They produce shadowdancing music to chill out to in the morning hours
after a night in the city. Several times I thought “Okay, here they go, decibels up” but
it doesn’t happen.

The distance between them and their fellow citizens Dry Cleaning is quite close.
Whispering vocals, velvety atmospherics, and bassy Massive Attack beats. After
a couple of spins, everything falls into place. This record is about daydreaming
at dawn while mysterious ghosts fill the room.

JEFF TWEEDY Fan? Triple Solo Album In September – Hear 4 Tracks Here

18 July 2025


Album artwork

57-year-old songsmith JEFF TWEEDY has always been a very productive musician from his early days on with Uncle Tupelo (1987-1994), then of course with Wilco (13 albums so far) and solo.

He just announced his new solo LP, actually a triple-one (like I said, very productive).
He named it TWILIGHT OVERRIDE and will be launched on September 6th.

Tweedy: “When you choose to do creative things, you align yourself with something that other people call God. And when you align yourself with creation, you inherently take a side against destruction. You’re on the side of creation. And that does a lot to quell the impulse to destroy. Creativity eats darkness.

Sort of an endless buffet these days — a bottomless basket of rock bottom. Which is, I guess, why I’ve been making so much stuff lately. That sense of decline is hard to ignore, and it must be at least a part of the shroud I’m trying to unwrap. The twilight of an empire seems like a good enough jumping-off point when one is jumping into the abyss.

Twilight sure is a pretty word, though. And the world is full of happy people in former
empires, so maybe that’s not the only source of this dissonance. Whatever it is out there
(or in there) squeezing this ennui into my day, it’s fucking overwhelming. It’s difficult to
ignore.

Twilight Override is my effort to overwhelm it right back. Here are the songs and sounds and voices and guitars and words that are an effort to let go of some of the heaviness and up the wattage on my own light. My effort to engulf this encroaching nighttime (nightmare) of the soul.”

As it is a triple album he offers not just one new, but four
new tracks. Four for the, eh, twilight hours. Pure Tweedy.

Ambient Electro Groove – CHROME DAPHNE Shares New Single ‘ENOUGH’

Daily electricity to load your batteries

29 May 2022

Artists: CHROME DAPHNE
Who: A Toronto-based duo comprised of producers
and multi-instrumentalists Chris da Silva and Jay Cherr.

New single: ENOUGH

Jay Cherr: “The tune was inspired by attachment issues. It approaches the question
of commitment in a relationship with a wishful, dreamy apprehension — wondering
what something could be. It marks a bit of a stylistic departure from our other material.
It’s written in 6/4 which is not something you often hear in dance music, and bringing
in horn players was definitely an experiment for us.”

Turn Up The Volume: This chill-out dance sparkler has an immediate impact on
your hips. It’s a feel-good, relaxing, ambient tune with a soulful feel. Smooth synths,
some trumpet moments here and there, and floating vocals come together in a playful way and invite you to shake your booty. You won’t get enough

Here’s why…
