Puppy announce new album ‘Pure Evil’
PUPPY have announced a brand new album!
Titled Pure Evil, the upcoming album from the London-based trio is the follow-up to 2019’s The Goat, and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Rude Records. The news of the upcoming album comes on the back of the band’s latest singles, The Kiss and Angel, which were both released last year.
Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist/guitarist Jock Norton says, “we had to dig fairly deep to find the purpose in doing any of it, because the global narrative was rightly shifted to more important things. But I think to be honest that sort of introspection had filtered through into other aspects of our lives, so being able to record this album sort of gave us a bit of purpose and something to cling on to. Ultimately for us we wanted to feel engaged and productive and useful, even if it was only for ourselves and each other. Like I said, there’d be times when it would feel a bit meaningless, but getting to a place where you’re comfortable with that and happy to let the work be it’s own reward really helped us grow as a band and as people I think. To us the whole thing feels like a time capsule of this weird limbo period and I think that comes across on the album, or at least I hope it does. Postcards from the edge or whatever.”
“I think we all liked how dumb it sounded,” jokes Norton of the album title, “but then the dichotomy of the two words really resonated as well. Broadly speaking I think we’ve always tried to combine classic pop songwriting with a love of heavier music, and on this album I think we take that a step further with some of our loudest moments combined with some of our sweetest. It feels like a nice way to say something about the band and our ethos while ultimately still being able to call it something stupid.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song lifted from the forthcoming album; …And Watched It Glow.
