For a long time PVRIS have occupied a space in the alternative, band-led world without entirely bowing to the scene's expectations. Use Me is an extension of this, a declaration of what Lynn Gunn can create now she's claiming her power and not sharing the credit so generously.
There isn't a wasted moment on the album, an expertly crafted triumph that succeeds by balancing addictive production and a concentrated thematic focus.
Less a moment of reckoning, this is instead an album to be reckoned with.
‘Use Me’ is the sound of an artist flexing her muscles, making sense of and peace with her past and, most importantly, embracing a new future.
Lynn Gunn leaves modesty, fear and doubt in her rearview to embrace the freedom of truth on PVRIS’ third album, Use Me.
It’s a powerful - and at times, vulnerable - listen that comes doused in sparkling synths and delicious beats.
Use Me is by far the most streamlined and production-pristine of PVRIS’ work to date.
Use Me is a stirring artistic statement from someone who should no longer feel as though she has to hide.
