Standin g\n\nWhen The Purple Emperor Spreads His Wings is the new double album fro m The Wave Pictures. The title means ‘spring’ – that day when all th e butterflies burst into life. A new beginning. As songwriter\, singer and guitarist David Tattersall explains: “There is always a strong sense of time and place in The Wave Pictures’ songs. It soon became natural to g roup the songs that I was writing by season. The album has 4 sides: one fo r each season. The songs ‘take place’ lyrically within that season. Th e album begins in Summer and ends in Spring\, to represent the cycle of li fe.”\n\n[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b7nIoTeK2o[/embedyt]\ n\nIndie legends Guided By Voices snippet pop song mania\, in particular\, showed how The Wave Pictures could take their classic influences and allo w them to harness the power of pop more than ever before. The band enterta ined themselves playing Dave’s poetically inspired songs while thinking about all kinds of records they were listening to: Sun Rockabilly\, Africa n guitars\, Neil Young country\, and plenty of the sounds of the 60’s go lden age of British music: the crazy fun of The Who and the creepiness of The Yardbirds. This is the perfect album for those people who still wonder who is better\, The Beatles or The Rolling Stones. The answer is really s ecret option C: The Wave Pictures!\n\nAfter recording 2018’s two albums Brushes With Happiness and Look Inside Your Heart on reel to reel tape in the tiny Booze Cube in Stoke Newington\, and in the case of Brushes\, not rehearsing and then improvising the songs while recording them\, the band returned to Rochester to record the new album at Ranscombe Studios. Both t heir 2016 album Bamboo Diner In The Rain and 2015’s collaborative effort Great Big Flamingo Burning Moon with Wild Billy Childish were recorded th ere\, as well as David and Franic’s surf-garage-rock-super-group The Sur fing Magazines\, featuring Charles Watson of Slow Club\, whose second albu m Badgers Of Wymeswold was released in 2021 and was recorded between sessi ons for The Wave Pictures own album. In contrast to The Wave Pictures’ a forementioned albums recorded quickly at The Booze Cube\, When The Purple Emperor Spreads his Wings was recorded and mixed in ten days\, although st arted in 2020 and not finished until after the final lockdown was lifted\, it was actually recorded over an even longer period of about ten months. http://thewavepictures.com\n\nPlus support B Spanks ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.lewesconclub.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2022/12/WavePictures2022.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20230326T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
