“Pvris is back, baby” – Billboard Magazine

Today producer, singer/songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist PVRIS (Lyndsey Gunnulfsen) has released her new album EVERGREEN via Hopeless Records.  The LP is her fourth studio album and is largely co-produced by Lyndsey Gunnulfsen alongside collaborators including Mike Shinoda, Y2K, JT Daly, and Dan Armrbuster.

As a fiercely passionate LGBTQ+ woman, Gunnulfsen has fought her entire career to make sure her voice is heard and her art is not compromised in a male-dominated world. EVERGREEN is a call to empower other women and individuals to find strength in their voices.  Musically EVERGREEN showcases PVRIS’ musical progression with her unique and compelling blend of electronic, rock, and pop elements.

“EVERGREEN is a gracious release of raw emotion and real connection, tangled in the vines of pop and alt influences.” – Wall Of Sound 9/10

“PVRIS demonstrates the value of existing in the spaces between genres, and that moments of combination and contrast are often the most exciting.” – Kerrang 4/5

“A love letter to pop, rock, electronica and beyond while also elegantly extending the PVRIS creative universe, EVERGREEN more than lives up to its name and then some.” – Hysteria 9/10

“Evergreen is a very ambitious album and frankly by far the most thematically well-rounded and best effort from PVRIS yet.” – Ghost Cult Magazine 9/10

“Lynn has never sounded quite so bold.” – DIY Magazine 4/5

“It has an edgy feeling…with an underlying longing and dark touch all the way through.” – MXDWN

“PVRIS is back at it again, doing what she does best, dropping absolute bangers! ‘GODDESS‘ comes after the release of ‘ANIMAL‘ and ‘ANYWHERE BUT HERE,’ …l and only further proves why PVRIS is a force to be reckoned with.” –  The Honey Pop

“Melodically it whips and cracks at you with harmonies pulled from the mouth of angels. But musically, it leaps and bounds between synth-laden swells and plucked ambience. It is off-kilter in all the right ways, showcasing such a wide breadth of influence whilst still feeling wholly individual. This isn’t following any sort of blueprint, it is fresh as it comes.”
– IDOBI RADIO on “EVERGREEN”

In celebration of the album release, PVRIS premiered the music video for single, “I DON’T WANNA DO THIS ANYMORE”. Directed by Jax Anderson and PVRIS frontwoman, Lyndsey Gunnulfsen, the video connects all the previously released visuals from EVERGREEN, calling back to arresting images like Lynn split between nature and a synthetic world, and Lynn battling internal distress and conflict. With visualizers launching for every song on the album, Gunnulfsen shares a unique companion piece, immersing fans into the world of EVERGREEN.

ICONIC. HYPNOTIC. GODDESS. PVRIS is a motherf***ing brand.

Hailing from Boston, MA, PVRIS – the creative project of vocalist/instrumentalist/songwriter, Lyndsey Gunnulfsen (aka Lynn Gunn) – focuses on artistry, emotional resonance, and story-telling in her music. Rather than be tied down to a specific genre, PVRIS has always explored a diverse, eclectic mix of sounds, resulting in a genre all their own. It is this controversial, innovative, and risk-taking approach that has led to Lynn being lauded as a modern pop/rock icon – performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, featuring on magazine covers like Rock Sound, Alternative Press, Gay Times, and Kerrang!, and winning the Rock Sound Icon award, Artist of the Year, and Alt Press Breakthrough Band of the Year award. “It’s not my job as an artist to cater to certain trends or people’s nostalgia,” Gunnulfsen shares, “I have to follow what I feel compelled to follow and do my best to uncover what truths and messages I can find within that. I have to always embrace the risks of change and trust that each stage of my music’s life will resonate with whoever it’s meant to.”

It is with this mindset that PVRIS took the unconventional approach of disengaging completely from the public eye to write/record their new album, EVERGREEN. Weary of seeing how modern culture has become so dependent on the internet, social media, instant gratification, and the ever-present “algorithm,” Gunnulfsen embarked on a journey of reflection, meditation, and self-discovery. The result is a body of work that feels timeless and refreshing. “If you search the definition of ‘evergreen,’ you will find words like: enduring, timeless, fresh, unlimited, and renewal,” Gunnulfsen explains, “In our modern culture where everything is online, algorithm-based, and instantaneous, it feels like timelessness, longevity and connection could someday become dying concepts. More than ever, PVRIS has, and always will be anti-formula, anti-virality, and anti-instant gratification.”

With a strong sense of purpose and direction in mind, Gunnulfsen focused on co-producing the album alongside a diverse selection of expertly enlisted production collaborators, from Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda, who co-produced the arena-primed aggressive rock track “TAKE MY NIRVANA”, to American producers Y2K, JT Daly, Matias Mora, and Carrie Karpinen. Highly-inventive and extremely cohesive, the album opens with the explosive and personal track “I DON’T WANNA DO THIS ANYMORE” and leads into the ferocious, defiant “ANIMAL” – a song about breaking free of control, whether it’s from other people or from ourselves. “It’s about challenging the identity the outside world chooses to give you,” Gunnulfsen adds, “It’s also a comment on fame and spectacle. We do each other a disservice by restricting one another to these metaphorical cages, the ones we’re constantly putting others in and being put in by others. Animal is about challenging that.”
