PVRIS have today released a new version of their classic single ‘My House’ featuring Spiritbox vocalist Courtney LaPlante.
Originally featured on the band’s debut album ‘White Noise’, this new version arrives ahead of that record’s 10th anniversary tour which will arrive in the UK this summer.
On putting together the re-recording, PVRIS’ Lyndsey Gunnulfsen says “It was such an honour to have Courtney featured on this re-release. I didn’t know until meeting her that White Noise was one of the inspirations to Spiritbox. After learning that and seeing the incredible world she’s created from that inspiration, it feels full circle now, and it was only right to have her be a part of this re-release.”
She continues, “The album first came out at a time when women were still extremely commoditised in the rock/alternative space, and the fight to be embraced and taken seriously, simply as artists, was even more prevalent than it still is today. 10 years later, there’s been a lot of progress, but there’s still much work to be done. It feels really healing and powerful to get to share this song with someone who I know has had much of that same experience and has been fighting that same battle just as long, if not longer.”
“Not only is she an incredible person and performer, she has such a distinct and dialled vision with Spiritbox”, Lyndsey concludes. “The high standard of precision, artistic integrity, and vision, both sonically and visually, that she’s brought into the rock/alternative scene with Spiritbox, I feel has set the bar so high, and to have done that as a woman in a scene still so heavily occupied by men, it feels like the most badass power move. Take notes everyone!”
