'paul white and the purple brain' is based around and inspired by the work of little-known swedish psych-rock guru st mikael. heavy on eastern influences and otherworldly concerns, mikael's music ranges from searing electric guitar-led dirges to dreamlike ballads to ghostly atmospheric experiments. having been granted access to st mikael's back catalogue, paul white found a unique source of inspiration and challenged himself to create an album using the swedish multi-instrumentalist's work as the sole basis for his output. the result is 'paul white and the purple brain' - a remarkably diverse album that defies easy categorisation. 'marshen signals' brings to mind the brooding atmospherics and jeep-rattling bass of mid-90s d.i.t.c. productions, whilst 'alone again' nods to the pioneers of the bbc radiophonic workshop. sitar-led tracks such as 'pride' share common ground with the likes of '60s english psych band july and 'my guitar whales' - the first single to be taken from the album - could be a classic rap banger remixed for a hungarian fairground.
