Purson - The Circle & The Blue Door

Review by Noel Gardner

Purson deserve better than to fall through the cracks, but if you only have so much time...»

Led by enigmatic vocalist / guitarist Rosalie Cunningham, London's Purson release their debut album, 'The Circle and the Blur Door' on Rise Above Records. 'The Circle And The Blue Door' finds the missing link between Pentangle and Pentagram, by way of David Bowie's dream reality and The Beatles' feel for the perfect melody. And while it owes a debt to front woman Rosie Cunningham's clear love of the late 60s and the early 70s, it is her poetic, evocative lyricism, tight song craft, sonorous vocal style and dedication to deep musicality that takes this wonderful album far beyond the waters of pastiche.
