PVRIS have dropped a new video.
Use Me shares its title with the recently released full-length follow-up to 2017's 'All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell' and the 2019 EP 'Hallucinations'.
Taking shape with elements of pop and hip hop through a steady beat and brooding synths, the track's vocals are shared by band leader Lynn Gunn and hip hop artist 070 Shake. The accompanying clip's dark imagery, meanwhile, was directed by Griffin Stoddard. Gunn told Kerrang:
"I actually wrote Use Me after I watched the TV show Euphoria. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and wanted to make a song inspired by it. It was inspired by the characters Rue and Jules. Rue was telling her sponsor that she was basically in love with Jules, and he was kind of explaining to her that she was placing her addiction on a human instead of a substance. I wanted to write about that concept."
PVRIS have postponed their North American tour in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Rescheduled dates are still to be announced.
