“There’s pop elements on Church With No Magic, but its integration into the band’s electronically damaged sound is what makes them succeed. They’ve run out of letters to remove from their name, but PVT are just getting started when it comes to good ideas.” PITCHFORK “Brilliantly ambitious... bravely genre-defying...Church with No Magic has alchemy in spades” 8/10 NME “PVT don’t cower at the feet of their influences so much as stand shoulder to shoulder with them. They may be Pivot no more, but they’re turning heads - and for all the right reasons.” **** TIMEOUT “PVT: Band to Watch.” STEREOGUM “Church With No Magic’ oozes tone and seepes ethereal textures like a leaking roof. A hit from dystopia’s jukebox.” 9/10 LOUD + QUIET “I can’t stop listening to this.” INPRESS “...what PVT does so wonderfully is extract the heart of electronic music...’Church With No Magic’ solidifies PVT as one of Australia’s most inventive bands” JMAG “Beautiful, transcendent and elemental, PVT reminds us they don’t wait for permission before taking the plunge.” DRUM MEDIA “The combination of the famously incredible drumming with the confident and forward synth bass and dreamy, hallucinogenic guitar is augmented perfectly by the tone colour of Richard Pike’s vocals.” THE BRAG (ALBUM OF THE WEEK) SHOWS Oct 20 Oct 21 Oct 21 Oct 22 Sneak Attack Day Party - The Delancey @ 2.15pm AOL Day Party - AOL studios (770 Broadway) @ 3pm Official CMJ Showcase - Bowery Ballroom @ 8pm Red Eye Day Party - Bowery Electric @ 2.15pm SHERLOCK’S DAUGHTER myspace.com/sherlocksdaughter “Sherlock’s Daughter employ lush, speckled, swooping, diving slurpscapes that echo the snuggle-crackle of bands like Animal Collective and Broadcast, but with a poppier streak that aligns them with the sunniest of nu-indie.” Village Voice “A woodsy, synth-backed sound powered by Horo’s whispery Nina Persson-esque vocals and an almost aboriginal backbeat, they should have some staying power. Thurston Moore even namechecked them as a band to watch in an interview last Friday with NPR.” Interview Magazine Since their debut performance in the US during 2009’s CMJ Music Festival in New York City, Sherlock’s Daughter have encountered a series of wonderfully surreal events that most bands can only dream of. Since touching down in New York City last October, the band have been a relentless musical force. Directly from the airport, Sherlock’s Daughter played their first CMJ showcase in the States, luggage and equipment in tow with a response so overwhelming, the band decided to make the most of their visas and stayed in the country until the end of the year. Shortly soon after, Sherlock’s Daughter were invited to perform a weekly residency in the reputable Lower East Side haunt, Piano’s -- an opportunity that led a certain Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth to stumble upon the band and consequentially, former producer and good friend John Agnello who quickly fell for the band as well, becoming a regular attendee at the bands’ weekly gigs. Born from a late-night revelation on a stormy Sydney shore down under, front woman Tanya Horo weaves the fantasy worlds of Sherlock Holmes inspired sepia-tinged memories with fleeting colonial adventures, pagan ceremonies and ornate impressions. Bridging the gap between insanity and
parable, together, this five-piece knit together a heaving experience of heavy dream pop through shifting frames of multi-instrumentation. The music is replete with diverse elements such as live video game tweaks, percussive sandpaper, echoing handclaps, marimba, sampled rhythmic scenes and sweet, complex harmonies. After being invited to support heavy weights such at The Temper Trap, School of Seven Bells, and Metric the band decided to relocate to New York City after playing a string of highly profiled and well recieved showcases during 2010’s SXSW in Austin, Texas, leading the band to promptly settle in the studio with John Agnello, to begin working on their full length debut album (due early 2011). During their brief time living in the US, the band has since shared the stage with acts like Freelance Whales, Warpaint, Class Actress and recently wrapped up their first national tour with The Charlatans UK. Check out the bands myspace for details of their upcoming CMJ appearances.

These tracks also achieved substantial rotation on US college radio, with “Hurt Me” charting as the #3 most added track on the CMJ chart, finally peaking at #31 on the CMJ Top 200 chart and charting at over 60 stations nationally and official rotation at over 160 stations.
