On the cusp of their debut album release “Shrines” due out July 24th on 4AD. This will be about the fourth or fifth free download from the Canadian electronica duo, that being said “What the fuck are they going to release?” All signs point to secret treasures that await the bold if this latest download is any example of the riches to behold (Seussical bitch!!). As the clock ticks down toward their release, the tour which starts July 6th will smack 25 cities, giving us the opportunity to hear what a real live lucid dream sounds like, set to the boom pap…the boom boom pap!! Fineshrine is pure Purity Ring (like how I did that?) Transcendental trip hop (is that word even cool anymore?) at it’s best. Cop the latest single for free at RCRD LBL and be sure to lookout for their new album when it hits itunes.
The following was taken from Music Emissions and probably one of the best descriptions of the band I’ve found thus far.
Purity Ring is the futuristic pop project of Corin Roddick and Megan James. Purity Ring makes lullabies for the club, drawing equally from airy 90s r&b, lush dream pop, and the powerful immediacy of the very best modern indie pop. Megan James’ remarkable voice is at once ecstatic and ethereal, soaring joyfully through Roddick’s carefully chopped beats, trembling synths, and past her perfect counterpoint – a ghostly pitched-down vocal which both underscores hooks and renders the entire musical backdrop beautifully alien.
