The Purrs
Label: Sarathan Records
Release Date: September 12, 2006

Seattle’s The Purrs had multiple hits on local radio station KEXP, and thanks to the breadth of streaming Internet radio, built a fanbase without ever leaving the Emerald City.

Now Sarathan Records is releasing their self-titled, national debut comprised of seven tracks off their Dreams Our Stuff Is Made Of LP and some remixes from their No Particular Bar, No Particular Town EP. All we have to say is, “Mmm…shoegazer.”

Lyrics about drinking, dreams and songwriting are generally unobtrusive, and musically, there’s some Richard Ashcroft (The Verve) and Galaxie 500 influence here. Our favorite track, “Don’t Stop Kicking Me Down” reeks of Seattle-”it”-bands. Delicious.
