About Spice World "Purple Patch"

The image of a “purple pa tch” was immortalised by Roman poet Horace. He used the flashy textile met aphor to describe (and warn against) using ornate passages in an otherwise plain piece of writing. In modern parlance, meanwhile, the phrase usually refers to a time of unusual success or good fortune. 


Both meanings find their way, winkingly or otherwise, into describing the new record from Walyalup/Naarm-based yearners Spice World.

Good fortune was certainly at the band’s door with their debut album in 2023 - “There’s No “I” In Spice World” received widespread acclaim, appearing at #53 on R olling Stone’s Best Australian Albums Of The 2020’s. Album track Mountain Pony 20 was named in their list of Best Australian Songs of the 21st Centu ry. The rough-and-ready record led to national tours, international airpla y and a sudden cohort of fans around the world.  

On Purpl e Patch, Spice World continue to prioritise an unserious and sometimes unp lanned approach to placing music on the permanent record. Much of the albu m was recorded and mixed by Jeremy Segal in Fremantle the day after “There ’s No “I” In Spice World” was released, just a few hours before the band w as once again flung widely across the continent. Other songs were learned and tracked in loungerooms and bedrooms within a given afternoon. Venetian s was written on the day of recording. The Price Isn’t Right features perc ussion played on a sharehouse chandelier - the type of detail that mingles with clarinet, flute, piano and other surprising additions to fill out th e record’s scruffy sense of DIY “ornateness.”

True to Spice World’s deceptively playful style, Purple Patch also has its share of pathos and p urpose. The record leans into critiques of hustle culture, progress and pr ofiteering - and looks to the stubborn pursuit of freedom and beauty along side. Often choosing a more pissed-off and polemical approach compared wit h the band’s debut, tracks like Bull’s Tools, Mercy, The Price isn’t Right and Baby’s A Bulldozer rail against the chauvinism of industry with one h and, tracing out the poetry and absurdity of daily life with the other.&nb sp;

Elsewhere, the band’s devotion to pining and silliness resonate as strongly as ever. See the bittersweet jangle of single Connie or album closer Fortune Free juxtaposed with the “lesbian punk bombast” of Mean Gir ls; or the bright-eyed and charming Choir of Angels and I Remember Isaac, for the full spectrum of melancholy, goofiness and desire. 

Spi ce World is Billie Burrows, Lyndon Blue, Julia Suddenly, Rhian Todhunter a nd Layla Martin. They reside across Naarm and Boorloo. 

“Purple Patch” is set for release via Rough Skies Records o n October 8. Vinyl and digital album available for pre-order now.
