ALL OF US RIGHT NOW

All Of Us Right Now! Is the ninth full-length from Seattle psych-rock mainstays The'1/4'Purrs - a record charged with urgency, friction, and hard-won endurance. Formed'1/4'in 2000 after filling their lineup via a classified ad in The Stranger, the band has'1/4'spent 25 years refining a galvanized blend of Brit-pop shimmer, blues-soaked'1/4'shoegaze, and nocturnal punk romanticism.'1/4'Ive never been more depressed and angrier in my life, says bassist and lead'1/4'vocalist Jima - and that tension fuels the record. All Of Us Right Now! #channels the'1/4'disorientation of the COVID years and political fracture - chaos that fueled a'1/4'creative stall, and the band clawed their way out of it. That hard-won return is all over'1/4'this record. All four members contribute to the songwriting: guitarists Jason and Liz'1/4'trade shimmer and abrasion while drummer Dusty drives with crisp restraint.'1/4'Midway through, the band delivers a shoegaze-leaning take on Robyn Hitchcocks Queen Elvis. Produced by Johnny Sangster (Mudhoney, The Posies) and mastered'1/4'by Ed Brooks at Resonant, the albums haze is grounded in clarity. After nearly three decades, The Purrs remain emotionally unvarnished - romantic,'1/4'restless, and very much awake.
