PVT's first international release 'O Soundtrack My Heart' (also under the name Pivot) came out in August 2008, tracked at BJB Studios Sydney, Australia, with Scott Horscroft, and mixed with John McEntire (Tortoise/The Sea and Cake), at Soma Electronic Music Studios in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
2008 saw the band tour relentlessly across Europe and the UK. Notable shows included an appearance at 2008 Meltdown with Yellow Magic Orchestra, Glastonbury and invitations from The Arctic Monkeys, Sigur Rós and Gary Numan to support on Australian tours. The band has been known to cover Talking Heads' I Zimbra live using live sampling to replicate up to 12 parts, and included a live version of the song on the B Side of their O soundtrack My Heart tour-only 7".
PVT were invited to perform as part of the Brian Eno curated Luminous Festival at the Sydney Opera House in June 2009, and were then also working on the completion of their third studio release with engineer Burke Reid in Sydney. They also contributed a cover of the Grizzly Bear song "Colorado" to the Warp20 (Recreated) compilation, as well as having their song "Fool In Rain" covered by Scott Herren's 'Diamond Watch Wrists'.
In 2010, the group decided to remove the vowels from their name Pivot after a legal claim was made from an American progressive metal band of the same name, releasing 'Church With No Magic' in August 2010.
PVT worked with Ivan Vizintin, engineer and former Ghoul frontman and Ben Hillier on mixing duties to produce their third studio album, 'Homosapien'. The album was released on February 11th 2013 via Felte records. February 2017 saw the release of 'New Spirit' , after working again with Vizintin and Hillier.

PVT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm standing out watching the nightfall
I'll wait for you like you wait for me,
I could never leave you with I could .you still.
Enough said.
You're coming, I'm coming
You want me, I'm yours.
Do you want me, I'm yours.
How could you not have and still recall
Every perfect mistake and we're heading for
Je ne regrette rien, je ne suis pas debile
Oh just I'll be watching you
Enough said.

You're coming, I'm coming
DO you want me, I'm yours.
You're coming, I'm coming
Do you want me, I'm yours.
You're coming, I'm coming
Do you want me, I'm yours.
You're coming, I'm coming
Do you want me, I'm yours.
Do you want me, I'm yours.
The lyrics of PVT's Nightfall seemingly convey a message of incomplete closure and steadfast waiting. The opening line, "I lost the key we all couldn't get it," implies a sense of frustration and disappointment, perhaps alluding to a failed attempt to reconcile with someone or something. "I'm standing out watching the nightfall" could symbolize a person's contemplative and self-reflective state, as well as their desire to seek understanding and clarity amidst the darkness. In the following line, "I'll wait for you like you wait for me," it is evident that the singer is determined to patch things up, and they refuse to abandon what they have with this person. "I could never leave you with I could .you still" expresses a sense of loyalty and commitment despite the difficulties.
The chorus, "You're coming, I'm coming / Do you want me, I'm yours," reiterates the singer's willingness to be with this person and the uncertainty of whether the feeling is reciprocated. The line "How could you not have and still recall / Every perfect mistake and we're heading for" suggests reminiscence and regret, acknowledging the imperfections of their relationship but still moving forward. The French phrase "Je ne regrette rien, je ne suis pas debile," which translates to "I regret nothing, I am not crazy," echoes the sentiment of letting go of the past and embracing the future. The final lines "Oh, just I'll be watching you / Enough said" leave the interpretation open-ended, as it could either be seen as a warning or a promise.
