Isabel Johnson discovers themes of enlightenment and sonic surprises on The Early Purple’s new track
Opening on the steady heartbeat that is this song’s drums, The Greek Key is an uplifting indie folk tune from The Early Purple covering themes of enlightenment through Greek mythology. Set to come out on Wednesday 4th December, it’s perfect for the colder months, warming you up like a really good cup of tea.
Sonically it’s incredible, while remaining gorgeously down to earth; the track was produced by Will Thorneycroft and features a guest appearance on the backing vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin and even bouzouki from another of the North East’s beloved musicians, Sam Fender. The song is a lush garden of beautiful sounds and even more beautiful ideas.
And if I haven’t sold it to you enough, you can go and catch it live at The Glasshouse in Gateshead on Wednesday 11th December at the band’s headline show.
