Sounds Like: "The three-piece has been turning heads with their daring dichotomy of high-octane rock and ambient soundscapes. Vocalist/guitarist Will Love has the uncanny ability to evoke PJ Harvey and Kurt Cobain, sometimes even in the same song as he goes from a guttural howl to a hushed croon. Critics have compared their sound to the Smashing Pumpkins, Janes Addiction and Pink Floyd while trend setting radio stations such as Seattle's KEXP and Los Angeles' Indie 103.1 have showed their support early on by playing several tracks off their EP."- Filter-Mag.com

"Sabrosa Purr are the most mystifying, bizarre, and intriguing band you’ll hear for a long while. They can swing from tender folk to bombastic metal at the drop of a hat, and it never seems forced or contrived. The simple answer is that this is a band that loves music, and loves so much of it that they can’t be bothered to choose just one style. How rebellious, how bold."-Emily Tartanella
Review is Here
This latest EP is a delightful trip out and spacey indie rock jam that needs to be heard. One minute you are basking in it’s floaty clouds of heaven, and then all of a sudden it thrusts you into the head of the monster as you are devoured for all its worth. Some of it reminds me of a more tripped out Jane’s Addiction, though definitely the early years.
The stand out track is clearly “The Lovely People,†a rocker with thick as meat riffs and driving rhythm that will have you bopping your head. It’s dirty, free of disease and yet so intoxicating you probably shouldn’t drive after hearing it. You could easily hear this one on that big corporate alternative rock station in your area (if you even still have one) or in the back corner of that ultra cool record store you sometimes visit. Word of advice: next time you’re there make sure and pick this one up.
