Purson Announce New Album, “Desire’s Magic Theatre, due for release on March 25th 2016. Plus 13 Date UK Headline Tour Confirmed.
Purson welcomes you to “Desire’s Magic Theatre” a technicolour trip through the mind’s eye of songstress / vocalist / guitarist Rosalie Cunningham, whose signature approach to her craft stands boldly centre- stage, blending progressive dexterity and cabaret romp into a compelling, multi-faceted rock ëní roll show. “Desire’s Magic Theatre” draws inspiration from the rock operas of the late sixties and early seventies; musically, visually and lyrically, it touches on a variety of realms, including folk, prog, psychedelic, gothic & classic rock, making telling use of classical instruments and complex arrangements, and fully exploring the outer limits of reel to reel tape.
Says Cunningham: “Desire’s Magic Theatre has turned out to be everything Iíd imagined and more! My world has been so consumed by it that Iíve barely been able to reflect on what it has become: A technicolour variety show, a playful display of the musical whims only briefly hinted at in our previous work; a psychedelic rock opera dedicated to our good friends Sarge Pepper and Zig Stardust.”
