PVRIS is honoring its debut album, White Noise.
On Friday, the rock band PVRIS released the 10-year anniversary edition of White Noise, which featured rerecorded songs from their front-woman and now solo member Lynn Gunn. PVRIS is also touring the anniversary album.
Back when the first project came out in late 2014, PVRIS consisted of vocalist Gunn, bassist Brian MacDonald and guitarist Alex Babinsk. However, Gunn’s first solo effort was with their most recent and fourth album, Evergreen, which was released in 2023.
Some stand-out songs on the beloved album — and in the band’s catalog — include “St. Patrick,” “You and I,” “Fire” and “My House,” often their concert closer and this time, featured Spiritbox’s vocalist Courtney LaPlante on a remix.
“Can’t believe so many of you resonated with this album 10 years ago and still do 10 years later. (And can’t believe no one ever got me a stylist to save me the embarrassment of looking back on so many hair/outfit choices haha). Never would have imagined when this album was being made in a studio the size of a closet that it would have the impact that it has had over the years,” Gunn wrote in a joint post on PVRIS’ Instagram in January. “This album has done so much for all of those involved, created the most beautiful community and paved the way for so many amazing connections, friendships, art, music, etc. for those who have connected with it. A proper celebration calls for a White Noise 10 Year Anniversary Tour.”
She continued, “This isn’t just a celebration of the album, this is a celebration of all of you.”
In an In Conversation interview with Alternative Press in February, Gunn told LaPlante about preparing for the tour. “I’ll definitely be prepping for it ’cause we’re gonna play the album front to back. A lot of the songs are so high for me now,” she said. “I think part of that was just at the time, in music and in the Warped scene, it was a flex to sing high, especially for dudes. Which I think is so hilarious now listening back. Even listening to White Noise, I’ll be like, ‘Why did I have to sing that?’ So I think they probably would have sounded even better if they were actually in a key that was comfortable for me.”
She also noted what she wants for the band’s future: “I still don’t feel like it’s where I want PVRIS to be. I would love for it to keep growing, but it is in a really cool spot that I never thought it would be.”
PVRIS is on its anniversary tour now and is set to open for Linkin Park on their From Zero World Tour this summer.
