PNC’s forthcoming free album Under The Influence was produced entirely by newcomer Matt Miller, who PNC says brought about a turning point to his approach for the record – “ I was checking out his SoundCloud page and liked how he’d taken well known tracks, flipped them and made them his own. His production style was pretty raw, but I liked the DIY nature of it. I wrote to a few beats he had out, and pretty soon we had a good group of songs together. I would send him tracks to sample, interested to see what he would come up with. I was impressed every time with where he took them”.

There’s still no word on when Under The Influence will drop but you can hear the Gotye/Kimbra-sampling ‘Stranger Pt. 1 & 2′ below.
