PVRIS (pronounced “Paris”) is a pop rock band from Massachusetts. They were originally called Paris, but had to change the name due to legal reasons. The band consists of Lyndsey “Lynn Gunn” Gunnulfsen (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Brian MacDonald (bass, guitar, keyboards). The band formerly had Alex Babinski (guitar, keyboards), Kyle Anthony (vocals, keyboards) and Brad Griffin (drums) as members.Their debut album, White Noise, was released in November of 2014, and features songs such as “My House”, “St. Patrick”, and “Holy”. This album, as well as the band's overall aesthetics, take lots of inspiration from ghosts, horror movies, and black and white imagery. They've also released music videos for each of the ten songs off the album (plus a bonus track), which are all loosely interconnected and meant to be watched in chronological order.note For those who don't know, the order goes “St Patrick”, “My House”, “White Noise”, “Holy”, “Fire”, "Smoke", "Ghosts" / "Let Them In", “Eyelids”, “Mirrors”, and “You and I”. Following the release of White Noise, the band achieved a sudden unexpected success, being hailed “breakout band of 2014”, getting bumped up from side stage to main stage partway through Warped Tour 2015, and winning several awards.They released their second album, All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell, in August 2017. They've released videos for "Heaven", "What's Wrong", and "Anyone Else".

New Sound Album

comment
New Sound Album: White Noise is a pop rock album that sounded very different to their earlier EPs. All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell is noticeably Darker and Edgier than White Noise. Use Me moved away from much of the pop rock sound of their previous two albums and more into dark pop territory. This included influences from hip-hop and RnB.

Religion Rant Song
 PVRIS (Music) / int_5df06b20
comment
Religion Rant Song: "Holy", of the hate the faithful type. It's Lynn taking a swipe at Holier Than Thou Christians who use their religious beliefs as an excuse to be bigoted or disrespectful to others. She argues that they behave that way because they're insecure about themselves. Considering that Lynn is openly gay and has admitted to being fascinated with the occult since she was young, it's absolutely based on some real-life experiences.

Out-of-Genre Experience
 PVRIS (Music) / int_74ee1c2d
comment
Out-of-Genre Experience: "Ghosts" sounds more like the band's earlier post-hardcore work than the rest of White Noise. It's guitar-driven, and doesn't have anywhere near as many of the synths and samples as other tracks on the album do. "What's Wrong" is mainly a dancey electronic track... except for the bridge section, where Lynn goes almost out of nowhere into full-on metalcore screams. "Loveless" is an acoustic song on an album that mainly features a lot of electronics and pop production. "Use Me" has lots of trip-hop and hip-hop influences and a guest appearance from rapper 070 Shake.

Paranormal Investigation: Alex and Brian investigate Lynn (who plays a ghost) in the music video for “White Noise”. They don't really do anything useful (besides film everything and go where they're not supposed to), so they're likely not experts in their field.

I Am the Band: Lynn. It was revealed in the run-up to the release of Use Me that Lynn had actually always written all of the songs and performed most of the instruments in the studio, and that the rest of the band would be taking a step back to reflect that. She isn't the only original member left, though. Brian has also consistently been in the band since it formed.

Ms. Fanservice: Lynn isn't afraid of showing some skin. This ranges from Zettai Ryouiki (the video for "My House") to Navel-Deep Neckline (the video for "What's Wrong?") to being fully naked while curled up on the floor (the video for "You and I"). She'll also sometimes bare her midriff. She rarely shows any skin when she's not doing a music video or photoshoot though, and often dresses quite modestly when she's on stage. The most amount of skin she usually shows on stage is either a bare midriff or a navel-deep neckline.

The music video for "What's Wrong" has a bunch of half naked girls dancing around Lynn, while she's singing about being miserable and looking about 70% of the way to a breakdown.

Deliberately Monochrome: Most of their music videos, photoshoots, and other promotional images are either in black and white or are very desaturated, barring the occasional Splash of Color. Even their stage setup for live shows is monochromatic. All the band's instruments and equipment are either black or white, they all wear black clothes and the lighting usually sticks to being pure white, with some elements of colour depending on the song.

Surprisingly Gentle Song: "Nola 1" on All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell. It's much more gentle and restrained than the rest of the album. "Loveless" on Use Me. It's an acoustic song with very little of the electronic elements of the rest of the album.
