    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

Hate gestates through the ages
And caught up with you before you arranged it
The patterns are true
I'm due to notice that your lionheart's through
And the wagon waits outside for you

Mildew stews in this tundra
It's bruised your will and dragged you under
A resolute smile despite wider worry
But your lionheart's through
And the wagon waits outside for you

Set in stone, aren't you clever?
Said one poker-faced hard shark to the other
I don't mean to stain your sensitive mane
But I'm going to
'Cause your lionheart's through
And the wagon waits outside for you

Yeah, your lionheart's through
And I'll just be outside waiting for you
