Rarely does an artist like Chris Pureka come along. In an age of fleeting success and temporary notions, Pureka is an artist of substance. Armed with a sharp eye for oft-missed details and an emotional intelligence that can switch from withering to compelling on a dime, she has been making albums on her own terms for over a decade. Now, with her third studio album How I Learned To See In the Dark (Haldern Pop, 2014), Pureka adds some bold new elements to the solid foundation she has been building throughout her ever-escalating twelve-year career.

Pureka got an early start in her native Connecticut playing in local coffeehouses and venues and garnering the attention of the press and fellow musicians alike. It wasn’t long after she moved to Northampton, MA that her career began to take off. In 2001, she released her first EP followed by 2004’s Driving North which was met with critical acclaim in the U.S. and led to her first headlining tour in the states. Since then she has released two more full-length albums and two EPs on her own label, Sad Rabbit Records, and has continued to tour in the U.S. and Europe.
