“I think one of the first dozen or so bands I saw upon moving to Atlanta in 1997 was The Purkinje Shift. Within moments of seeing them perform, I was in love. The band fizzled out in 2000 at a final show at the Moreland Avenue Tavern (MoAveTav), and a couple projects popped up afterwards. Moreland Audio and Home of the Wildcats. They were all great, trust me.  Then, more than a few years ago, the guitarists (Ben and Gary, for those keeping notes on such things) decided to start jamming with Lee “Cricket” Corum on skins and The Purkinje Shift was back in operation.  “Threads” is the band’s fourth full length, but their very first to be on 12” vinyl. Recorded by the band in Gary’s basement studio, you’d never think the band has taken a break. Precision. It’s what the Shift is known for.”—Henry Owings
