In anticipation for their new album, Bodacious, out April 1st, Texas pop-rock trio Purple have just released their new single, “Bliss.”
Consequence of Sound Premiered the track, calling it, “A number whose dreamy, tamed beginnings eventually give way to highlight the trio’s boisterous spirit.” Listen to the song below!
The new LP, Bodacious, proudly retains the venomous, strident tone established on their debut release, (409), and takes a dive into high-adrenaline fueled pop rock. It kicks off like a gun-shot with the volatile “Backbone“, leaping between the abrasive shouts of the refrain, and the funky, fluid pop melody of the verse. Midway through, “Pretty Mouth” slides the record into an funky reggae influenced resonance. As Bodacious nears its end, Purple bust out their fuzz-rock chops on “Geniva” to deliver a grimy catchy melody over fat, distorted guitars, setting the album up for its high-octane finish.
