PVAS harnesses swaggering micro-rhythms, disembodied vocal samples, and swells of bass that crest and sputter like ocean waves while retaining the extraterrestrial xpq?-style psychedelia that marked their debut.

PVAS has leveled up quite a bit since their xpq excursion a couple years ago. I especially dig the quarter-time stagger of Schlesi. mixdowns and mastering throughout are impeccable. tip!!
“Somaesthesia” is for the body, for how the body feels and how the body communicates with its soul. It was written through a year of growth and sickness, which stimmed inflection to a body at rest, a body aroused, a body communicating needs, a body happy, a homeostatic body, a friend body.
These four songs drift through different dimensions of somatic sensation. Deep corporal sensuality, spectrums of control of self, identity, and their relation to others, plateau, release, extra sensorial touch, extraterrestrial encounter, novelty, experiment, finding self where you thought you stood alone, finding self in bass, basing self in body.
Do not disembody, hold closeness to body, trust body, body as a litmus, body as a truth, truth as unmovable, unmovable as grounded, rooted, dense body, flesh body, REAL body, this is your body, feel your body feel.
