about

One does not simply listen to the eighth chapter of The Purple Gherkins project without knowing the wretched turmoil that underwent its production.

Recorded over two years ago on a sunny day, little did Reuben, Dan and Tom (who had agreed to help produce the project and is rumoured to go by the name 'The Synth Sensei') know how curséd the production of what has now become 'Just Make That 420'/ PG8 would be. With the intention of making a "sad boi synthwave album full of melancholia", Dan and Reuben had to stray further into the world of s y n t h than they ever had before.

Only managing to fart out 3 tracks to begin with, the group certainly went for quality over quantity and, rest assured, these are truly substantial farts. During the course of post-production it became clear that one of the farts produced that day had drifted into the wind, lost forever like a helium balloon floating up above the clouds, never to be seen again.

While the other farts had lingered, Dan, Reuben and Tom were torn up about this lost fart - a fart which had probably once been described as 'the stinkiest future bass like song that anyone has either smelt and, naturally, dealt'.

The project seemed incomplete without it, and yet those naughty sosijez, The Purple Gherkins, didn't want the project to die. As life got in the way, those other farts refused to go away, still stinking up the room of Dan and Reuben's minds. That is, before the one day everything changed.....

On another sunny day over a year down the line, Tom ripped out an absolute whopper; a fart so meaty and stanky that the project had re-ignited. Not only did this track complete the three track EP, but it acted as a second act, a part 2, a sequel, an electric boogaloo to another track in the original set, so that, when played together, could produce a synthwave odyssey so stanky and foul it would linger in the air of one's mind for longer than the lost fart ever could.

After over two years in the making (longer, in fact, than the time between PG1 and PG7) we present to you The Purple Gherkins Volume 8: "Just Make That 420".

Serve up with headphones on and enjoy it with your baked bean pizza and genre salad but, most importantly, let it linger in your mind like the foul fart it is...

P.S PG58: "The Sounds of Cylinders!" confirmed.
