This 10-track album, the UK act’s latest release, represents a technicolour trip through the mind’s eye of songstress / vocalist / guitarist Rosalie Cunningham, whose signature approach to her craft stands boldly centre- stage, blending progressive complexity and cabaret romp into a compelling, multi-faceted rock ‘n’ roll show.
Cunningham’s vision is a golden ticket through the canyons of imagination, a peephole through the doors of perception, a celebration of surrender… and you’re invited.

Unpredictable yet classic, Desire’s Magic Theatre draws inspiration from the rock operas of the late sixties and early seventies, from such grandiose works as Sgt. Pepper’s… and Bohemian Rhapsody, from The Pretty Things’ S.F. Sorrow and The Small Faces’ Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake; musically, visually and lyrically, it touches on a variety of realms, including folk, prog, psychedelic, gothic & classic rock, blending other-worldly romance with shadowy foreboding, everything delivered with Purson’s inimitable panache.

Recorded in London’s Gizzard Studios (home to all manner of vintage gear), the album makes use of classical instruments and complex arrangements to achieve Cunningham’s progressive vision; later in the process, the singer’s panoramic approach to production ran riot in her own Mushy Room Studios, where she allowed herself to truly explore the outer limits of reel to reel tape, gradually coaxing this labour of love to completion.
