Deaf Touch Records Dope Purple opened my 3rd eye! Favorite track: New Psyche & Beyond the Body.

Der Ohlsen "Children in the Darkness is hands down one of my favorite tunes of the year so far [...] That beautifully yearning guitar chord progression just goes to all the right heartfelt places, while the other sounds swirl around it so gently like magical winds and butterflies.
Of course Dope Purple cannot help themselves and ultimately shovel a good amount of noisy guitar over this dream [...]"

▼WV116: Dope Purple - Children in the Darkness

幽靈空洞無物中

Psychedelic rock in the dark!

Dope Purple's new album 'Children In The Darkness’ was recorded when the band hosted a live midnight recording session at Revolver, Taipei, on Friday 3rd March 2023.

Amidst the tense silence of the middle of the night, the five members of Dope Purple, two guest musicians: saxophonist Yong Yandsen from Malaysia, British drummer Darren Moore from Singapore, and a familiar audience, came together to produce the album 'Children In The Darkness’.

The album is a ferocious space psychedelic rock, no starlight, no glamourous psychedelic paradise, just a meditative journey of infinite darkness and ear-splitting tinnitus. Unlike our last album, I didn't have a specific theme or idea for this album, however I named it 'Children In The Darkness’ because all the songs on this album share the same lonely, disorientating chaos that reminds me of children forgotten in the darkness, and Dope Purple has always been a messenger for those children, playing sedative music for their ghosts.

At the end of each performance, I can clearly feel my furious brain melting away, and only the calming spirit remains in my body.

- Kozma Liu

黑暗中的迷幻搖滾，Dope Purple新專輯《Children In The Darkness》。

2023年3月3日周五的半夜零點，Dope Purple在台北左輪辦了公開錄音現場。在半夜充滿緊張的沉默之中，Dope Purple的5位團員，與來自馬來西亞的薩克斯風音樂家Yong Yandsen、來自新加坡的英國籍鼓手Darren Moore、還有面熟的觀眾們，一起製作了這張《Children In The Darkness》。

這張專輯是非常兇暴的太空迷幻搖滾。我們的太空沒有星光，也沒有華麗耀眼的迷幻天堂，只有無限黑暗跟耳鳴的冥想之旅。不像上一張專輯，我對這張專輯沒有一個很具體的主題或構想，然而我把專輯取名為《Children In The Darkness》，是因為這張專輯的所有樂曲都有共同的又孤獨又迷失的混沌，讓我聯想到在黑暗中被遺忘的孩子們。Dope Purple一直都是那些孩子們的使者，替他們的幽靈演奏鎮魂歌。每次表演結束後我很清楚地感受到憤怒的腦袋已經完全融掉，只有鎮静的靈魂留在我的身體之中。

- 劉堅白

Once again, a collaboration between WV Sorcerer Productions and Riot Season Records.

Delivers as promised on an exploration of space and the mind through sound. The aesthetics are more groovy and incorporate sounds and textures of grunge and hardcore as much as drone and classic psych rock. Black Shrine maybe goes as far as to melt the space of the prior tracks for something more expansive and otherworldly. epimetheus81

I didn't listen to the songs much before, but because of the Tea Parties I organize, I've really grown to like them, and I'm sorry that it's no longer possible to buy the vinyl. Anyway, the songs are absolutely great, they remind me of something from the movie "Y Tu Mamá Tambien," mainly because of the chill hippie "café" atmosphere. I love it—keep creating! kingmagmor
