Plvs Vltra is the indie rock solo project of Toko Yasuda (Enon, Blonde Redhead, The Lapse, The Van Pelt), featuring melodic, fractured tunes created on samplers, vintage synthesizers, drum machines and various effects alongside Yasuda's comforting singsong vocals.

Danny Ray Thompson played baritone sax, flute and contributed percussion, adding "emotions to these electronic tunes," according to Yasuda.

"As if Alice Coltrane's Universal Consciousness was...sent into the future to be reimagined as an electronic pop record...Parthenon refuses to be pinned down," enthused Spectrum's biography.

[6] Tiny Mix Tapes called Parthenon a "straight-up pop album with alluring (because “sexy” sounds misogynist and creepy) female vocals.

"[7] The Quietus said Yasuda's songs are "equivalent to playing Twister in order to lose, turning in on themselves the very game-logics of popular sounds and structures.

Field Hymns described the album to a "thumbed-through flip book of vaporous, hazy memories...replete with childhood recitals, fragments of half-remembered stanzas and sumptuous j-pop interludes.
