Purple Blue is the third full-length album by Canadian indie band Eric's Trip.[3][4][5] The album marked a turn to a heavier, more psychedelic sound, which Rick White would further explore with Elevator.[6]

A tribute to the album can be found in the song "Eric Sleeps," by Australian indie band Youth Group, from their debut album Urban and Eastern.

Critical reception[]

Trouser Press wrote: "An assured slip of a record that favors full-on distorted rocketry over airy folk-pop and dinky minimalism, Purple Blue merely lacks the tunes that would defer tedium."[7]
