A couple of listenings were enough for me to fell under the spell of The Circle and the Blue Door. Purson's debut has an organic and predominantly analogue sound which borrows to a great extend from the psychedelic work of The Beatles, a band that has influenced the Cambridge quintet the most. Apart from an unparalleled balance of the correct ingredients for a 70s retro/psychedelic cocktail, I was also mesmerized by the effortless confidence and charisma that guitarist/vocalist Rosalie Cunningham exhibits throughout the album. Impeccably solid and consistent, it appears that she has absorbed the genre?s essence into her own DNA. From the opening haunting tone of "Wake Up Sleepy Head" and the narcotic bass groove of the following "The Contract" until the melancholic closing of "Tragic Catastrophe", there is a plethora of grooves, rhythms and mischievous psychedelic rock. Recommendations: "Leaning on a Bear", "Spiderwood Farm", "Mavericks and Mystics", "Well Spoiled Machine".

Purson turn their spotlight towards the intermediate space between '70s pop, progressive, and occult/folk rock and deliver an enticing debut album.
