Album Review
Written while touring behind 2008's Moonbeams, Purpleface finds Scott Reitherman and his backing three-piece releasing a few songs for the masses, a four-song EP with a reworking of Moonbeams' "Written in Heart Signs, Faintly" and ten and a half minutes of new material. The main factor differentiating these songs from the songs on Moonbeams is that these are a little spacier, a little more distant, and a little colder, although the thrift store aesthetic is still there. This more subdued side is worth investigating. Think of this as a supplemental disc to get sufferers of seasonal affective disorder through a short winter until the next summer romp.
Customer Reviews
"Can we just drive around some more tonight?"
I picked up this EP during the band's winter tour, put it on as an nightcap to some very late adventures and was so thrilled by the surprise. The EP is a whole other mood--maybe a new direction--from the Moonbeams LP, and it's an exciting leap in artistic expression. Thoughtful, pensive and wrapped up in timberotic pleasures... For the nostalgists who mourn the loss of the lo-fi indie gods from the mid-nineties, I'll tell you: there's a genuine resurrection right here.
Great Closer
Ship is an exceptional track that rivals Throw Me the Statue's sensational single Lolita of their debut album. TMTS is a rising band with great potential. Though in these early stages the group only finds a real spark on a portion of their songs, when they get it right TMTS can be absolutely captivating.
