UK psychedelic masters (and new Brainfart favorites) Purson have announced that they have currently inked a deal with Spinefarm records. Purson, whose music touches a variety of realms, including folk, prog, psychedelic, gothic and classic rock, are currently in the studio putting the finishing touches to Desire’s Magic Theatre, which will be released under the Spinefarm/Machine Elf Records banner. Purson singer/guitarist/songwriter Rosalie Cunningham had this to say about their pairing with Spinefarm:
“As I sit here in the control room at Gizzard Studios, the pride of East London, I’m excitedly realizing that our second album has turned out to be everything I’d imagined and more! My world has been so consumed by it that I’ve barely been able to reflect on what it has become: a technicolor variety show, a playful display of the musical whims only briefly hinted at in our previous work; a psychedelic rock opera dedicated to our good friends Sarge Pepper and Zig Stardust.”
She continues: “The twists in the tale have been carved out by the path we’ve taken over the last 12 months. It’s been constantly shape-shifting and developing with all the wonderful experiences we’ve had. On behalf of the band, I give thanks to everyone who has bought a PURSON record and been to our shows. Your continued support means everything… and you have our promise that the best is yet to come…”
Purson is a band that I have found myself more intrigued by and fascinated by with every passing listen. Much in the way that bands like Jess and the Ancient Ones, Graveyard, and Kadavar have done, Purson offers a slightly modern twist on a very timeless kind of psychedelic hard rock music. I can’t wait to see what Purson’s new album will offer us. Coming off the heels of their 2014 masterpiece EP, In the Meantime, I can only imagine the greatness that this band has in store for us.
