Purple Pilgrims Share Hypnotic Video For 'Sensing Me'

30 October 2019 - 0 Comments

Celestial sisters Purple Pilgrims reveal another visual attached to their spellbinding new album Perfumed Earth, which was released in August on Flying Nun Records. Sensing Me is a Love Magic incantation and telepathic ritual. Through hyperbolic emotional shorthand we regard the grey area between love and obsession, fantasy and reality. A claustrophobic dream of elation, desperation, regret and double meanings.

The video was directed by W.A.M Bleakley and shot on 16mm Kodak film. The characters become more and more disarrayed as internal clashes overwhelm them - becoming divided within and against themselves, and ultimately disembodied. When psychological borders on supernatural - both tongue-in-cheek and deadly serious all at the same time.

Watch the Sensing Me video here.

The making of Perfumed Earth saw Purple Pilgrims return to the birthplace of their debut record Eternal Delight, where the isolationist sisters assembled a community of collaborators (both in person and remotely) to weave together the 9 track record from the forest sanctuary of Tapu, on New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsula. Out of this pastoral solitude was born an album a world unto itself. Mixed by Thomas Healy, with bass/synths from Gary War, experimental saxophone from Jeff Henderson, live drums from Jimmy Mac, guitar fuzz from Joshua Kennedy, as well as an appearance from six-string expressionist Roy Montgomery, Perfumed Earth is an inspired fusing of creative touchstones to achieve a singular, stunning vision.

"hypnotic, marked by moments of nuance that reward a close listen" - Loud and Quiet

"there's so much character to Purple Pilgrims' sound that it's hard not to give just a little piece of your heart away" - The Music


Perfumed Earth is out now on Flying Nun Records.
