*KEYTH AT WORK ON NEW ALBUM

After a week on a dairy farm in upstate NY, Keyth has already begun to weave the songs that will make up the new album. Of the new material, Keyth says
"The next work will not be a narrative like the last. FIGURES was a story told from one perspective. What is happening now is architecturally fueled. These songs are coming together in a way the others haven't. I am building them in way I didn't know I even knew how to. This will be recognized compositionally and certainly when we begin to build in the studio. I'm planning to get dirty with this one."

*ALBUM DETAILS ANNOUNCED

I Said! Records recording artist, Keyth Lawrence and the Purple Circle, will be releasing their first full length record, entitled Figures in early 2004. "Figures is a record," explains Keyth. It was made with the traditional vinyl formula in mind...it has two sides. The line of demarcation, the equator, is essential to this work. It is a character-driven journey that takes place in two halves." (See track listing below.) A 5 track CD Sampler containing selections from this work will be released to radio and press on November10. Record Launch / Industry Showcase is scheduled for April, 2004 in NYC. Figures
