Album Notes & Community Reviews

The final full-length from the notoriously deconstructive Chicago noise-rock quartet. 'Purple on Time' continues their highly abstract, jaggedly rhythmic deconstruction of traditional rock structures, utilizing complex math-rock time signatures and Al Johnson's anxious, utterly unhinged vocal delivery to create a deeply avant-garde listening experience.
