Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote: "An assured slip of a record that favors full-on distorted rocketry over airy folk-pop and dinky minimalism, Purple Blue merely lacks the tunes that would defer tedium."[7]

gollark: The claims they make are utterly lies.
gollark: The only significant issue I had was the recent oh bee kernel implosion one.
gollark: I can't because newer kernel versions completely stop my laptop from booting somehow!
