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 Wyldest Feed The Flowers Nightmares Rock And Pop | Hand In Hive | 1LP Released 9th September 2022 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wyldest Feed The Flowers Nightmares £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Hand In Hive SKU: HIH147LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lande Hekt Romantic Rock And Pop | Emotional Response Records | 7", Coloured Vinyl Released 6th May 2022 £11.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lande Hekt Romantic £11.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Emotional Response Records SKU: ER117 Formats: 7", Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 6th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Elmiene Marking My Time Rock And Pop | Polydor | 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released 12th January 2024 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elmiene Marking My Time £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polydor SKU: 5864499 Formats: 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released Date: 12th January 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matt's picks View Product Quick View Charlatans, The The Charlatans Rock And Pop | Beggars Banquet | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th October 2021 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charlatans, The The Charlatans £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Beggars Banquet SKU: BBL174LP2 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Royal Trux Accelerator Rock And Pop | Domino | 1LP Released 8th October 2012 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Royal Trux Accelerator £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP45 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th October 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beatles, The On Air – Live At The BBC Volume 2 Rock And Pop | UMC | 3LP Released 11th November 2013 £50.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Beatles, The On Air – Live At The BBC Volume 2 £50.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 3750506 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 11th November 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Steely Dan Two Against Nature Rock And Pop | Analogue Productions | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 24th June 2022 £65.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steely Dan Two Against Nature £65.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AAPP141-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 24th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Don Broco Technology (Limited Edition Box Set) Metal / Classic Rock | SharpTone | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Picture Disc Released 2nd February 2018 £58.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Don Broco Technology (Limited Edition Box Set) £58.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: SharpTone SKU: 0727361425951 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Picture Disc Released Date: 2nd February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Allan Clarke Resurgence Rock And Pop | BMG | 1LP Released 20th September 2019 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Allan Clarke Resurgence £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG SKU: 538522501 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band Merseytrout (Live October 29th 1980) Rock And Pop | Ozit Dandelion Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 16th November 2011 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band Merseytrout (Live October 29th 1980) £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Ozit Dandelion Vinyl SKU: OZITLP8009 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 16th November 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
