Don’t judge The Purrs by their album title, “The kid With Astronaut Eyes.”  This is not a navel-gazing or contemplative album.  This is Seattle rock as well as roll.

And it’s good.

At the exact same time, the title track seems to go a bit down the shoegaze road, however it doesn’t lose it’s grinding edge–a ruthless rhythm guitar crunch that seems like velvet Underground.

It’s got some previously released material, like “You, The medicine as well as Me,” in addition to a lot of new songs.  I can’t discover as well much information on a release date–the label sent me the album, as well as I’m presuming it’s an advance–but I can tell you that if they’re pertaining to your town, run don’t walk.
