about

“The Receiver” is the latest single by electronic duo April + VISTA. Experimenting with a darker and grittier sound, they reenvision a buoyant future with the help of enigmatic Los Angeles rapper Zeroh. While VISTA’s feverish production evokes the digital crunch of an antenna desperate for a signal, April George synthesizes the pleas of the unheard into a simple demand: “give me love”.

“The Receiver” is the first single from April + VISTA’s forthcoming EP “Pit of My Dreams”, out March 19th. The release marks their return since 2019’s “Every Void” and the critically acclaimed “You Are Here” which gained support from the likes of The Fader, Afropunk, NPR, Apple Music 1 and BBC 1Xtra.

lyrics

Give me light, give me peace
Give me moments I can keep
Let me swim there with ease
Give me love
In a basin of blue, let me wash myself anew
Never mind what we lose
Give me love
Give me love
Give me love

Watch it boil and seep, trickle down into the deep
Carry all that we seek in this world
Let it burn, saucy sweet
Cooling right under our feet
Never war, just relief
Give me love
Give me love
Give me love

(Zeroh)
Honed on my focus
Revolted, scolded, atoned
Dark night of the soul
Rubbed shoulder to shoulder with ghosts
My zone is this moment
The tropes are just codes that we broke
I’ma cheat before I forfeit
It’s a game gimme glory for the go head
Runnin’ rogue 10 toes in the soil where the source is
Been seekin’ with blindfolds, no peekin’
Surprise me with a scene that won’t be pretend
Conceive of peace within
Where we’re on the receiving end
All things gold whole and deepening
Sign your esteemed loved one teacher friend
Culture is a baby, I just watered the seed
Pour up!
Cup runneth over, want more than I need
Can’t hold you I’d forward the notes on my feed for the “for free”
You deserve both to know and your dough fo’ sholy
I’m open for quote y’all niggas broke, OD
Just don’t fold
