Purple Blue is the third and final studio recorded album by the Canadian indie band Eric's Trip.[7][8][9] The album marked a turn to a heavier, more psychedelic sound, which Rick White would further explore with Elevator.[10]
A music video for "Sun Coming Up" was shot on Super8 film in Autumn 1995 by White, and fellow friend and artist, Peter Holt, and released to MuchMusic in 1996.[11][12][13]
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.
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."[14]
