The sound of grinding guitar right from the off heralds the arrival of the new album from The Purrs. This is their sixth release in total and there is a definite underground retro feel to the music of this Seattle based four- piece with mood and feeling taking preference over melody or hook. The guitar duo of Jason Milne and Bob Silverton must have wrists of steel such is the non-stop nature of the jangly guitar sound which nicely tempers the more monotone voice of lead vocalist and bassist Jima. Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Fall, comparisons can be made with all due to the distinctive guitar heavy feel, but make no mistake, the formula is tried and tested and will always have its place in music, a point backed up the fact that The Purrs have now been going strong for ten years.
