Review

By Far their best work yet! The album Leave the Light On has given Agnes Poetry "Their Own" unique sound. Their earlier albums were heavily influenced by other bands. Agnes Poetry has now broken out and discovered their own music sound. Leave the Light On shocked Agnes Poetry Fans with a very advanced professional music quality. Their fans will be even more shocked when they hear their current work that will be released sometime in 2000. -- From the press

About the Artist

Agnes Poetry - a name chosen as a tribute to their mother, this sibling trio was originally formed under the name Yavannah in 1989 by singer/songwriter Rannoch Purcell and keyboardist/programmer Randon Purcell. Originally a duo, the band experimented with drummers and guitarists, but couldn't catch the sound they wanted with the other musicians. In 1991 the two brothers dispensed with the guitars and drums, purchased a drum machine, several synthesizers, and a midi sequencing workstation. It was then that they recruited their sister Ranita to sing backing vocals and began writing under the name Agnes Poetry.

The new combination was exactly what they were looking for. In 1993 the trio moved to Provo Utah to begin playing live shows. Their first hit, "Leaving" found it's way to X-96 radio's Local's Only show. "Leaving" quickly earned the spot of "most requested song" on the program, and built the band a large local following. In January of 1994 Agnes Poetry started in the studio on their first album project.

Unrest, Agnes Poetry's debut album, was released in April of 1994, and was an immediate success in the Utah locals scene. In May of 1994, X-96 began giving Agnes Poetry prime time rotation, and the singles "Unrest" and "My Reward" climbed to the top of the station's charts. Several months of touring coupled with heavy radio air play made Agnes Poetry a huge success in Salt Lake City, and brought them widespread recognition as one of Utah's most prominent bands.

Only one year later, Agnes Poetry released the "Once Upon The Weather" e.p., followed three months later by their second album, Forgotten. Again, heavy touring and radio play helped maintain their status in the local scene, and made Forgotten another hit among their fans.

During the next two years Agnes Poetry began incorporating distortions, heavy sampling, and guitar into their music. In the fall of 1997, Agnes Poetry returned to the studio and put their new sound down to tape. In November of the same year, they released the cd single "Drown". The enthusiastic response to the "new" Agnes Poetry drove the band back to the studio in the spring of 1998 for a full album project.

Recording the new songs proved more of a challenge than past projects. Live strings, bass, and piano were recorded for several tracks, something which had never been done in the past, and new production techniques were constantly being experimented with to achieve the vision the band had for each song.

Five months later, the album was finished. In September of 1998 Agnes Poetry released Leave The Light On, their third full length album. The title track was aired on X-96's new music program where it was voted "best new song" for several weeks straight. Leave The Light On became an immediate success, acknowledged by the band and their listeners alike as Agnes Poetry at their best.

Currently and unfortunately, the band has broken up as each member grew up and had their own family., thus making this CD very RARE as they're all out of print!
