PVRIS Release Victorian-Inspired Visuals for New Track ‘Anyone Else’

The band’s sophomore album, All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell, arrives this Friday.

PVRIS have released new clip for brand new track, Anyone Else, ahead of the release of their highly anticipated second full-length, All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell, out this Friday.

Co-directed by Lynn Gunn and longtime PVRIS video collaborator Raúl Gonzo (who’s directed every PVRIS video to date) and collaborated on the concept with Courtney Scarr (who’s seen dancing in the video), the visual accompaniment for Anyone Else is yet another aesthetically endearing black and white imagery. Victorian-inspired and cinematic, the video beautifully compliments the emotive nature of the song, aligning with the contrasting sides hidden both in the lyrics and instrumentation.

Vocalist explains:

The verses of this song were each written a year apart, therefore lies two contrasting perspectives. The first verse was written at the beginning of heartbreak… that feeling when you first leave someone yet you feel like a part of you will always belong to them. The second verse was written a year later… a different mindset, mostly reflecting on the toxicity and possessiveness of that same love. It is ambiguous as to what the ending perspective is… who do I belong to in the end? Myself or my past lover?

The past few years I’ve had this unexplained growing love for the Victorian Era/Early 20th century and much of the art and photographs that came from those periods. The energy of this song, as far as instrumentation and production, gives me the most unexplainable feeling… to me it feels so ethereal and dreamy and immediately transports me to old John William Waterhouse paintings and other worlds reminiscent of that. I really wanted this video to be a subtle homage to that unexplainable feeling as well as capture the energy of the contrasting perspectives that exists in the lyrics.

PVRIS‘ second record All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell due out August 25th via Rise Records.

The band will be heading on 22-date EU and UK tour in November. You can also catch them at Reading and Leeds Festival this weekend.
