Purple Pilgrims

Purple Pilgrims may be the experimental wish pop task of Clementine and Valentine Adams, sisters who had been raised in Hong Kong and New Zealand’s South Isle by a family group with long-running music root base: their great-grandfather, Davie Stewart, was recorded by Alan Lomax. In 2011, the Adams sisters came back to China following the Christchurch earthquake and started producing music. Their self-titled debut one of ethereal, fuzzed-out folk appeared that yr on PseudoArcana. The duo toured with performers including Ariel Red and Gary Battle, with whom they distributed a split recording released by Upset the Tempo in 2013. After putting your signature on to Not Not really Fun, the Adams came back to New Zealand to create their first full-length. Documented inside a shed for the traditional western side from the Coromandel Peninsula, 2016’s Eternal Pleasure marked a far more streamlined, cleanly documented version of Crimson Pilgrims’ transporting audio.
