PURIENT SURRENDERS TO LOVE ON DARK, ETHEREAL DANCE CUT 'FANTASY MEMORIES EP FEAT. EARTHEATER, VARG²™ OUT MARCH 26  VIA BURNING ROSE / PELVIS RECORDS

PRAISE FOR PURIENT "Meet [one of] the women reshaping Australia’s electronic music scene" i-D "Purient’s found a middle ground between soft pop vocals and abrasive electronic soundscapes" KUTX "This infectious electronic track takes the sensibilities of modern deconstructed club, with the eeriness of modern EBM." Listen Mag "Charged with acid house hypnotising, the dizzying layers of 'Memories' traps its listener in a trance-inducing rave charged with an adrenaline rush of exhilarating electronica" Sniffers "EBM style productions with melodies that drift in and out" Triple R

Melbourne's Purient (aka Kate Durman) today returns with 'Fantasy,' teasing her upcoming debut EP Memories out on March 26th via Burning Rose / Pelvis. Listen + watch HERE.  Heavier on the deep house and IDM train than the acid inflected 'Memories,' 'Fantasy' invites listeners to pause and take a breath. "Let me show you, you are home," Purient sings, showing another side of her craft through staccato percussion, moody synths and fleeting guitar lines. 'Fantasy' illustrates moments of tension; the study of someones features while hiding eye contact, accidental brushes against the body whose mark lingers longer than the initial touch - the moments your connection with another builds deeper and deeper.  Visually, Durman returns to her collaboration with director and creative Jamie Timony, using the vision of waves crashing too and fro shot along Queensland's Gold Coast, to signify the ebb and flow of a growing relationship and finding clarity in their arms. Watch below.  Written one evening when Durman decided to trust her instinct and stay home, sharing about the process, "It's a very heartfelt and special song to me, and is telling of the excitable butterflies and romantic feelings that were consuming me at that time. I was beginning to grow closer to someone who made me feel safe and loved. I had no set intention when writing/producing it, but the feelings were there, so it all unfolded on its own. This is my favourite track of the Memories EP." On her forthcoming debut EP Memories, the producer-vocalist rounds out the previously released title track and 'Fantasy' with the electro, nu-disco leaning track 'Sad' and remixes from Eartheater, aka NY-based Alexandra Drewchin, and Varg²™, aka Swedish producer Jonas Rönnberg. Their take on 'Fantasy' and 'Memories' pushes Durman's music further into another dimension, while still giving space for Purient to arrive as a fully formed creative force.                                        'Fantasy' is out now via Burning Rose / Pelvis Records, buy/stream it here.
