The group meld industrial miasma, new-wave, post-punk and a focused pop swagger in one pungent multi-genre cocktail, which has won them fans up and down the country, as well as recent support slots with the likes of Squid, HMLTD, Dry Cleaning and The Orielles.<br><br>\u2018Toner\u2019 is only PVA\u2019s first EP, but it teems with excitement. Never for a minute does it sit still, skipping between ideas\u00a0with instinctive ease, bringing to light a broad palate of sounds and influences. Notably, on Mura Masa\u2019s remix, Harris\u2019 previously inconspicuous line <em>\u201cthe best is yet to come\u201d<\/em> is reluctantly brought to the front. Perhaps then, this serves as a reminder that although seemingly fully-formed already and among\u00a0the glorious chaos of \u2018Toner\u2019, this is simply the first chapter of a book we\u2019ll be re-reading for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>London&#8217;s PVA have announced\u00a0their signing to Ninja Tune\u2019s taste-maker\u00a0label Big Dada\u00a0(Young Fathers, Kae Tempest, Roots Manuva etc.).
