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: I don't agree, and in any case if you explode it far enough away it's someone else's problem.
