Purr Machine is a hybrid of rock, gothic, bohemian, ethereal and electronica
influences! Their new full length CD “Starry” promises to be a very heavy
experience, an intoxicating cornucopia of catchy melodies, driving rhythms, and
the band’s trademark lyrical style. Some of the musical contributions on
“Starry” consist of drums on several songs by Chris Vrenna, of NINE INCH NAILS /
TWEAKER fame, and guitars on the song ‘Sister’ by William Faith of FAITH AND THE
MUSE. Statik from COLLIDE did some loop treatments on the song ‘Sad I’m Gone’.
Other guests include guitarist Kirk Hellie of Pink Noise Test and Byron Brown of
Mercurine, who plays guitar on this album.
Like previous Purr Machine releases, Starry resists pigeonholing into any one
genre, Bringing freshness to subject matter as clichéd as love, loss, sadness
and hope isn’t 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 “snuggling under an
electric blanket submerged in water”. A Purr Machine song can sometimes be like
a conversation with an old friend - there’s an unspoken, direct, natural
familiarity that draws you in without hesitation. Kevin’s 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, you’ll never forget
it! Released on No Bliss Lost Records and available June 15th, 2007.
