Format:Audio CD
If you're here you obviously have a taste for impassioned, emotive rock. Music with depth, feeling and quality. The kind of music that stays with you past the first listen, past even the 20th listen. The kind of music that becomes an indespensible part of your life.
This is Puressence.
Only Snow Patrol and Radiohead at their best come close. And it's a crime of the greatest magnitude that this band's name doesn't trip off the tongue as readily as "OK Computer" "Run" or (God help us...) "Coldplay" when those "best of..." lists come round.
This, their fourth album, eschews some of the open and melancholic soundtracks of previous releases and ups the ampage to produce a superb, almost wall-of-sound effect. It washes over you with James's voice a shining diamond in the barrage. It's a unique voice, to be sure, but utterly spellbinding.
Please, if you're even a little tempted, just take five minutes and look at the reviews and stars for Puressence's previous three albums.
They are:
Puressence
Only Forever
Planet Helpless
This is not advertising or sloganeering, this band have been the BEST band in the country for almost ten years. Be warned though, if you buy one you will buy all four.

While bands like The Stone Roses are hailed for producing one great album, Puressence produce classic album after classic album and remain virtually unknown. Whether this will change with the release of this album is anyone's guess, but it's clear from the first crash of windswept opener 'Moonbeam' that this is another classic. Puressence excell at epic despair and widescreen emotion and make bands like Coldplay suddennly seem...well, a bit silly. Buy this, let it grow, you won't regret it.

Eh, I do have the previous albums from these guys but to be honest I forgot a bit about them and assumed they had split up years ago, in view of lack of success. So I was pleasantly surprised to read a few weeks ago they had released a 4th album last year. This week I received it and since then: I'm in love. This must be their most balanced work so far, with 40 minutes of passion in rock. A wall of sound, James' beautiful voice, magical guitar, great production; this album has it all. Epic indie rock in best practice mode. So forget about The Killers, Coldplay etc. and give this one a try. You will end up with the WOW-feeling, definitely.
