“Right now, over the past few years the biggest influence [on our music] has been playing it so often live – our new record is more of a 3 people sweating in a room than a 4 year studio experiment” — Pivot’s Dave Miller.
The Warp Records showcase demonstraits the versatility of the label. Pivot is a psycadellic band that hops on an Indie foot with a Techno inspired syncopation.
Pivot member Dave Miller, who does laptop, live electronics and production went on the record with PMT.
