PVRIS has returned with two new songs, Anywhere But Here and Animal.
Marking the first songs to be released by the Lynn Gunn-led project on her new label, Hopeless Records, the former is a gentle, dreamy introspective offering, while the latter is a more scathing, fiery affair.
The contrasting tracks will appear on the as-yet-untitled follow-up to 2020's 'Use Me', and arrive with a six-and-a-half-minute short film, directed by Jax Anderson. Take a look below. Gunn said:
"At its core, Anywhere But Here is about wanting to escape your surroundings. My whole life I’ve always found myself restless and eager to be somewhere else. I always imagine existing in different times and different places; everywhere and anywhere but where I am in the moment, even the good moments. I think a lot of us experience that to some degree, a longing to be somewhere or with someone you can’t necessarily identify."
She continued: "Animal is all about defiance, breaking free of control whether it’s from other people, or from ourselves. It can even be looked at through a wider lens and interpreted as defiance towards "the man", government, or the algorithms that run our lives, that "know us". It's about challenging the identity the outside world chooses to give you. It’s also a comment on fame and spectacle. I feel like we as a society are quick to dehumanize each other and hold people in fixed forms denying one another the opportunities to grow and evolve. I think this holds true especially those in any scale of a spotlight; artists, actors, influencers, models, athletes, politicians, etc… this can be true for personal relationships as well. We do each other a disservice by restricting one another to these metaphorical cages. Animal is about challenging that."
PVRIS have a show lined up at the Troubadour in Los Angeles on October 27, following an appearance at When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas. In January, they'll embark on a UK and European tour, their first trek overseas since 2019.
