about

The debut album by Pink Milk.

”A dazzling display of alternative rock music”
”Purple is the best album released in many years” – GAFFA (6 out of 6 stars)

”This small band has produced one of the most consistently great post-punk albums of the year.” – The Independent

”‘Purple’ as an album is a heady mix of everything that was right about shoegaze and stoner- rock.” – Hear Me Raw

”Cocteau Twins, The Cure and Joy Division as modern shoegaze. The duo Pink Milk creates a perfect soundscape with echoes, thundering drums and wailing guitars. The framing is as dark as Ingmar Bergman's "Trilogy of Faith", but in a strange way it produces a hopeful salvation in the bleak and gloomy. – Swedish paper Borås Tidning (4 out of 5 stars)

”A devilish congregation of swirling shoegaze guitars, beats that shake the foundation of time, howling, windswept drones, and vocals laced with barbed wire” – The Line Of Best Fit

”Strangely addictive”  – London on the inside

”stunning shoe gaze that has me daydreaming about summers past spent in Cheshire fields, Stockholm and Berlin” – Kerry Flint

”A fluid, loose, almost drunken drawl that you can imagine playing in the background of one of those misty bar scenes in Twin Peaks” – Wonderland

”Too loud, to the point of no return, burrowed beneath the sheer incessant noise is an almighty, fucked-up pop song” – DIY

”A remarkable, striking work” – Clash

”It sounds absolutely incredible!” – Kerrang! Radio

”If this wasn’t recorded in an aircraft hangar then we’ll be amazed. It’s suitably huge and dreamy but underneath the dense fog is a quality song.” – Shortlist

”Pink Milk have created a completely unique and refreshing sound that reminisces long forgotten 80s movies but the band are unlikely to find themselves as easily forgettable any time soon.” – Music News Today

"On the surface, the debut album Purple is dark, gloomy and claustrophobic, but after a couple of listenings, a looming seducing light appears. I have never experienced any kind of Godly presence, but I imagine that the sound of "LA COP" is heard in the back when the image of the savior presents itself at the end of the tunnel.” - HYMN

”This is a perfect soundtrack to the autumn darkness" – The Music Guide in Swedish national radio P3
