EVERGREEN

PVRIS returns with more of the same. Not that that's a bad thing! It seems each release dives further into their creative process to pump out new ideas. The downside to PVRIS that I've had a hard time enjoying is some of their harder songs. While the production is good, her voice just doesn't match the rage of the instrumentals. Occasionally, I think they hit the mark on this with songs like ANIMAL but usually falls just short. The good news here is that they are a pretty diverse band and the other darker but softer style they produce, they have perfected. SENTI-MENTAL and LOVE IS A... are prime examples of their softer but still bleak blend. The closer to this album, the self-titled track EVERGREEN, is in my eyes their magnum opus of this. Every sound change in production is done with purpose and her vocals match the recording like a glove. I hope more of this style comes suit but time will tell.
