The enigmatic new single from Devin James Fry is ‘Purple Glue’. It’s a unique piece from its opening moments, as Royksopp-esque synths glitch away over a punchy drum pattern and distant backing vocals add a sense of uncertainty to proceedings. When Devin James Fry’s vocal enters, we’re taken in another new direction - a Nick Cave style drawl cuts through the electronic soundscape beneath. “I’m split,” says Fry of the song. “By day I'm a surgical instrument sharpener; by night I do art. Purple Glue is me picturing what that looks like if we could extract it and bottle it. I imagine a thick, sticky, purple ooze. Disgusting, magnetic.” Check out the single’s B-side, ‘No Hope’ and his upcoming album, Retrellion. -Dan Peeke.
