Album Review

The Purrs
Tearing Down Paisley Garden self-released

Article written by Ged M - Jun 30, 2010

The Purrs: Tearing Down Paisley Garden

Seattle band The Purrs are a decade old and releasing their sixth album. The lead-off track, however, is a cover of ‘Only Dreaming’ by gothic Leeds ‘80s also-rans Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, which is here turned into dreamy 60s-styled drone-pop. They sound a lot like the Brian Jonestown Massacre, and a little like The Church, throwing in some stunning guitar riffs on their cover of Lee Hazelwood’s ‘I Move Around’. Of their own songs, the psych-pop ‘Pie In The Sky’ stands out for its eco-warrior, anti-consumerist stance and the brilliantly fizzing, skyrocketing guitars that close it. They have a nice line in melancholy and their shoegaze-meets-psych-pop sound is one that never loses its attraction.
