Perfumed Earth Purple Pilgrims SKU: FN589LP Barcode: 0942190363827 18.00 £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Flying Nun Released Date: 9th August 2019 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Video Description Product Info New Zealand sisters Valentine and Clementine Nixon aka Purple Pilgrims refer to Perfumed Earth, their sublime sophomore full-length – and first for historic indie Flying Nun – as “kind of like a rebirth.” The duo retreated to the same wooded sanctuary studio in the wilds of Tapu where they tracked their 2016 debut, Eternal Delight, but this time in a calmer, more contemplative headspace: “internal white noise subsided and we really started to appreciate the peace of our environment.” Aided, too, by a vaster cast of collaborators, they fashioned “a very modern/mobile band,” combining local recordings with inspired long-distance overdubs. Frequent ally Gary War contributed bass and synth from various American motel rooms while on tour with John Maus; lush live drums came courtesy of lauded Lorde keyboardist Jimmy Mac, ex-Surf City guitarist Joshua Kennedy layered in additional tiers of jangle and fuzz; veteran improvisational experimentalist Jeff Henderson cameos with subtle arcs of saxophone on the divine “Delphiniums In Harmony / Two Worlds Away”; and even legendary six-string expressionist Roy Montgomery makes a guest appearance, weaving tendrils of heavenly electricity within one of the album’s darkest highlights “Ruinous Splendour.” The results were then mixed in Mount Eden, Auckland, with engineer Thomas Healy, utilising his sizable collection of vintage tape machines, arriving at a sound both spacious and sensual, swooning and spellbound. Certain songs rank among the most proper enchantress pop yet ventured in the Purple Pilgrims canon, while others shimmer with more veiled kaleidoscopic textures, yet taken as a whole Perfumed Earth presents a persuasive evolutionary step forward. The sisters intertwined voices soar, seduce, and slowdive, radiating rich spectrums of archetypal experience: journeys, longing, homecomings. Theirs is a unique nexus of paradise and isolation, beauty and blankness, ritual and the right now; or as they phrase it: “ancient imagery expressed through a modern lens – folks songs played on synthesized instruments.” Artist Purple Pilgrims Genre Rock And Pop Label Flying Nun Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Superchunk Come Pick Me Up Rock And Pop | Merge | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 7th July 2015 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Superchunk Come Pick Me Up £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Merge SKU: MRG163LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 7th July 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View David Bowie Diamond Dogs Rock And Pop | Parlophone | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 6th February 2017 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders David Bowie Diamond Dogs £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Parlophone SKU: 190295990404 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 6th February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Butterfly 3000 Rock And Pop | KGLW | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th September 2021 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Butterfly 3000 £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: KGLW SKU: 2812144004 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jane Weaver The Lightning Back Rock And Pop | Fire Records | 7", Single Released 3rd April 2018 £7.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Jane Weaver The Lightning Back £7.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fire Records SKU: FIRE525S Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 3rd April 2018 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Yawners Duplo Rock And Pop | Big Scary Monsters | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 6th May 2022 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yawners Duplo £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Big Scary Monsters SKU: BSM321V Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 6th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Divine Comedy, The Infernal Machines / You’ll Never Work In This Town Again Rock And Pop | Divine Comedy Records | 7", Single Released 8th November 2019 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Divine Comedy, The Infernal Machines / You’ll Never Work In This Town Again £10.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Divine Comedy Records SKU: DCRL116 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 8th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Field Music Commontime Rock And Pop | Memphis Industries | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd February 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Field Music Commontime £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Memphis Industries SKU: MI0387LP Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Swearin Surfing Strange Rock And Pop | Wichita | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes CD Released 4th November 2013 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Swearin Surfing Strange £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Wichita SKU: WEBB405LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes CD Released Date: 4th November 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ten Years After Undead Rock And Pop | Sundazed | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd April 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ten Years After Undead £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sundazed SKU: LPSUND5267C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sufjan Stevens Seven Swans Rock And Pop | Sounds Familyre | 180g, 1LP, Includes 7" Released 1st August 2011 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sufjan Stevens Seven Swans £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sounds Familyre SKU: SF18LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes 7" Released Date: 1st August 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
