PURR MACHINE is a hybrid of alternative rock, gothic, bohemian, ethereal and electronica inflences, they hope the listener will be engulfed by the sound, not unlike some kind of drug to take away the pain, or perhaps establish it deep within.
The history of Purr Machine started with the release of âGing Gingâ in 1999, followed by the âSpeak Clearlyâ remix and since then, have participated in various compilations. Now they have an upcoming full length cd called âStarryâ which promises to be a very heavy experience, an intoxicating cornucopia of catchy melodies, driving rhythms, and the bandâs trademark lyrical style. Some of the musical contributions on âStarryâ consist of drums on several songs by Chris Vrenna, of âNine Inch Nails/Tweakerâ fame, and guitars on the song âSisterâ by William Faith of âFaith and the Muse". Statik from Collide did some loop treatments on the song "Sad Im Gone". Guitarist, Kirk Hellie of Pink Noise Test, who also contributed his unique sound to âGing Gingâ also plays throughout âStarryâ. Byron Brown of âMercurineâ also plays guitar on âStarryâ and he and Kirk have played with Purr Machine live on stage.
Like previous Purr Machine releases, Starry resists pigeonholing into any one genre, Bringing freshness to subject matter as cliched as love, loss, sadness and hope isnât easy, but the songwriting team of frontwoman Betsy Martin (formerly of Caterwaul) and musician Kevin Kipnis (former Bassist of seminal goth rockers Kommunity FK) self-describe their sound as âsnuggling under an electric blanket submerged in waterâ. A Purr Machine song can sometimes be like a conversation with an old friend - thereâs an unspoken, direct, natural familiarity that draws you in without hesitation. Kevinâs musicianship is first-rate, painting an irresistible sonic landscape, combined with the incomparable voice of Betsy Martin. Every thought and feeling is fully realized, every emotion clarified in her unique, distinctive croon. Siren and seductress, friend and confidante, she can whisper in your ear, or pull you to your feet and shake you. Once you are engulfed in the Purr Machine sound, youâll never forget it.
