With a no nonsense title, and beats of a deliriously dark and enigmatic dreamscape, witch house beatmaker PVGVN has released a new EP, Black. The album comes courtesy of Vienna-based label moun10 and features collaborations with Fauna and Dascmo. The offering opens with Heavenly Dead, a calm number that almost sleepwalks to the brink of disconcertion, at which point it revs into high gear. Throughout, the album offers eerily-slowed tempos, a trademark of the genre. The intricate skill with which PVGVN weaves his music gives the illusion of beats suspended elegantly in the air before defiantly wafting back down to earth. Falls is another standout. Featuring Fauna, soft flutters give the track a luminescence that almost seems for naught when pitted against the cavernous vocals floating on top.

Stream the album on Soundcloud but get a special taste of Mist of Wave here which is not currently offered on the stream.
