A record I was nudged towards by a recommendation a few days ago by Darren Jones best friend of It Starts With a Birthstone and that I've been playing pretty much relentlessly ever since,
London Electronic trio PVA's second album No More Like This has an intense sense of purpose and clarity which seems set to rattle a few cages and gather some garlands while it may..
It has a fairly upfront amd striking sleeve, An immediate sensual claustrophobia that's incredibly rare, Artistically inclined but not in a forced or gruelling way but an instinctive one.
The whole thing has a breathy intensity I find compellingly hypnotic, Not spelling itself out like the best records,But making you want to plau it again to try to work out what it is that you like so much about it. It's the best thing I've heard so far in 2026..
* Thanks as always Darren. Give that man a medal
Thanks Bruce! Think I've been doing the same.... but it's a fine record regardless.
