Music to Make To: How I Learned to See in the Dark...

A map of the heart often reveals a moody landscape, studded with shadowy regions.  Chris Pureka explores this darker terrain with her rhythmic acoustic guitar strumming and haunting voice. Her smoky crooning is punctuated by passionate wavering notes, alternating from the feathery to the ringing.  Some of the songs are punchy like Broken Clock and others are more forlorn like, Time Is the Anchor.  Her music exposes something raw and vulnerable.  Underneath it all, there is a sense of optimism – of someone reaching out in the dark, hoping to find contact.
