MojoFeb 3, 2017Elaborate motorik grooves, dense, post-rock complexity and intricate electronic experimentalism. [Mar 2017, p.94]
-
Feb 3, 2017It’s only on standout track, Kangaroo, that you could at any point pigeonhole PVT’s latest sound (in this instance, club banger). The remainder is far too elusive, a fusion of too many elements. Not confused, just produced in confusing times.
-
Feb 7, 2017Generous but gradually revealing.
-
UncutFeb 3, 2017The alleged political subtext is pretty opaque, while the rich sonic mix strays into tasteful inertia in places, but the prevailing mood is eclectic and energised. [Mar 2017, p.37]
-
Feb 23, 2017New Spirit's shifts from experimental to pop and back again aren't always smooth, but they prove once again that PVT's unpredictability is reliably fascinating.
-
Feb 6, 2017Their post-rock roots are still detectable on New Spirit, but there’s a dark-hearted dance aesthetic filtering through it.

Feb 3, 2017Woozy synth chords imbue the scene with a perverse mundanity that feels all too familar. At its best, New Spirit wallows in this kind of everyday helplessness.
