Pit of My Dreams out now!
D.C. based duo April + VISTA consists of April George (violinist, pianist, vocalist, composer) and mattVISTA (producer, bassist, composer). With influences ranging from electronic to alt-rock, soul and classical, their genre-defying sound has grabbed the attention of The Fader, Afropunk, NPR, Stereogum, Apple Music 1 and BBC Radio 1, and seen them tour internationally with artists like Little Dragon and Little Simz. Their appearance on Berlin-based music platform COLORS STUDIOS has amassed over 1.7M views, and their music has been featured on hit shows like “Dear White People”, “Boomerang” and most recently “I May Destroy You”.
Their latest EP, “Pit of My Dreams”, characterizes a new direction for the electronic duo. It finds them experimenting with a darker and grittier sound than its predecessor, 2018’s critically acclaimed "You Are Here." “This project exhibits our desire to raise hell to defy our subduers.” they explain, “it doesn’t offer neat solutions to existential crises. Instead, we wade through our very human perception while searching for an objective reality.”
Entirely self-produced, and recorded during the pandemic, Pit of My Dreams was also mixed and mastered by Christopher Willits using immersive audio techniques, creating a unique, 3D listening experience.
