    Following an earlier album and two EPs, the acclaimed 2004 'Purplene' LP was recorded at Chicago's Electrical Audio by Steve Albini and proved a significant departure for the band - a mature distillation of brooding experimental minimalism, abstract poetic imagery and cathartic release. Sputnik's review noted, "the record's greatest strength is its shunning of the excesses of the genres it takes its influence from." Members would go on to form Charge Group, Firekites and Palace of Fire.

    The album was originally sequenced and mastered for vinyl, but only found a CD release (via Sydney label Spunk) while the band still existed. Then 14 years after disbanding, Purplene reformed in early 2018 for a run of east-coast shows to celebrate the release of 'Purplene' on vinyl for the very first time on Hobbledehoy Records.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Purplene via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Background checks on best friends
Deadlocks tapped into loose ends
Surveillance, nose high from rooftops
Quick-drawn eyes, gnawed nails off
We're stuck fast

Brazen defence of constructed evidence
Come clean, tight-jean and cheap-drink scene
We're stuck fast

Where does fear go
When mother's whites are whiter than snow?
Where does fear go?

Background checks on best friends
Arched necks on bodies busy looting things
We're stuck fast
With half-arsed swear jars and soap bars
Mouths foam, who's home?
Dial tone

Where does fear go
When mother's whites are whiter than snow?
Where does fear go
When agents light the back row?
