{"product_id":"purple-pilgrims-given-to-the-night","title":"Purple Pilgrims - Given To The Night","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew Zealand’s answer to Dead Can Dance and Cocteau Twins.\u003cbr\u003ePrevious collaborations with The Chills and Roy Montgomery.  \u003cbr\u003eNumerous global headline tours and gigs alongside the likes of Ariel Pink, Aldous Harding, Gary War, John Maus and Weyes Blood.\u003cbr\u003eTruths and secrets often reveal themselves at night, under the freedom of shadowy darkness, away from prying eyes. In creating Given to the Night, sisters Valentine and Clementine Nixon have crafted a world that drifts through the in-between: between dream and reality, between day and night and the undefined, and ultimately a world that embraces the discomfort of being untethered. A process that follows simplicity and intuition rather than pre-determined narratives. “We recorded songs as they appeared, which sometimes felt like catching light. Before we realised it we had a record”, the duo explain.\u003cbr\u003eWhile making the record Valentine and Clementine gently pushed away from the world- deleted social media, retreated into the trees of their native New Zealand - and only invited a couple of people in during the recording process. From that space, the album came together in an eerily easeful way. \u003cbr\u003eThere is a dream-like drift and sonic timelessness to the the record, as reflected in its nocturnal title, which can be read in two ways:\u003cbr\u003e“Being taken by, or being inclined towards nighttime, preferring its blurry cloak of shadows to the harsh light of day; or giving oneself up to night, in sacrifice, letting go of fear and melting into the darkness.”\u003cbr\u003eWritten during a time of personal transition there was “a sense of finding the light in the shadow” they add. Guitar lines float, synth lines entwine, tapes hiss and vocals stream creating a kaleidoscopic montage of transient memories and emotions. A spectrum of feelings arise - isolation and joy, insomnia and manic highs, confusion and fleeting clarity, grief and healings. In the record, these feelings all merge and fade into one another in a nonlinear manner, as life tends to do; creating something deeply human that simultaneously gestures towards the transcendental.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AD 93","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl","offer_id":54914406449479,"sku":"TRI-78601","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/a1972141178_2.jpg?v=1788867278","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/purple-pilgrims-given-to-the-night","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
