mandarín Truly stunning piece of work. It speaks directly to the soul. Safe space for introspection and imagination.

Thanks for the healing ✨

inquiri The first time I heard Purl many years ago, it changed my brain chemistry. Though I love them all dearly, there is no version of Ludvig which I am more attached to than Purl. Reading the story here about the pain of not being sure how to continue at one point resonates so much with me personally--I nearly let inquiri fade for the same reason, and I"m so glad neither of us succeeded in that. This record is astonishing. Unbelievable evolution. Great love and support. Favorite track: Övergivet Hjärta.

Nakiso Purl has truly reshaped how I listen to and experience music this year. Reflecting on his work has also helped me redefine how I express myself in my own projects. I can confidently say that Purl has been a major source of inspiration. To this day, I have thoroughly enjoyed every one of his projects—thank you, Purl. Favorite track: Övergivet Hjärta.

about

It has been about 53 months since the last solo Purl album was released. 'Renovatio' marked the end of an emotional process related to music-making that I felt had become too heavy for me to continue, and the title signified the rebirth I felt was necessary. I thought at the time that perhaps this would be the last Purl album.

Since then there have been 17 singles, EPs and collaborative albums released that in different ways opened my mind and heart beyond anything that came before. There has also been solo releases planned that did not happen (yet), for different reasons.

'Himmelsandar' isn't really something new. Then again, I wonder if there ever has been or will be anything new from this stream of awareness and emotion that I call Purl. It somehow seems to me like everything essential was present from the beginning, and I'm not sure if anything has been added to it since. I dream of starting new projects; painting on a blank canvas again. But nothing here was painted on such a canvas. Everything was painted and repainted, so many times that the original idea may no longer be distinguished other than as the faintest wisp of something... ethereal.

I've been trying to release this album for a long time. It's still not quite finished, but now it is so close that I can begin the unfolding, as it may help give me the energy needed for the final push. So I'm gonna publish this and then schedule the listening party, and if you've read this far in my half-cryptic yet very honest notes, then I definitely hope to see you there.

There are few works where I would honestly say that they touch me deeply. But that is the case here. An interplay between silence and sound, music and noise. Thank you Ludwig, it did me good! Torsten Hentschel

I'm not a drum & bass enthusiast. Never liked it particularly, to be honest. Stumbled upon this album and it instantly resonated with me. :-) So maybe I have a lot of catching up before me. headbanger1979
