When Blue Hawaii do crawl out from the Montréal underground as they quite categorically will with their sophomore full-length, Untogether , there will commensurately undoubtedly, I assure you be this one comparison to plague them forever more. And that will be with one Claire Boucher. It'll be lazily articulated and repeatedly expressed, and it will from then on always be there. Yes, Raphaelle Standell-Preston – who sporadically floats away from BRAIDS to combine with Alex Cowan in becoming Blue Hawaii – can sound vaguely reminiscent of Grimes, as she unquestionably does at times [...]

Purity Ring 's trap-pop gets another mesmerizing visual treatment in a new video for "Lofticries." Directed by AG Rojas, the piece for the Shrines slow jam features four characters encountering strange life-death situations, or as Rojas tells Pitchfork , it explores "the stoicism of of physically connected characters confronted by surreal, climactic moments." See for yourself above. Purity Ring's Shrines is out now on 4AD . STREAM: Purity Ring - "Lofticries"

If you listen to my KSVR radio show, you'll know I'm a pretty big fan of Purity Ring 's new LP, Shrines . It's been on steady rotation since I picked it up several months ago. Never seemed to find a good time to write about the band, though. Until now. They have a new video for their track "Lofticries"! States "Lofticries" director AG Rojas about the video, it explores "the stoicism of psychically connected characters confronted by surreal, climactic moments. It is also a song off [...]

The Halifax/Montreal duo known as Purity Ring have turned a few heads with their debut album Shrines. Take a listen to their newest single 'Loficries' from the album and see its accompanied video. The video was directed by AG Rojas, and tells a story or a feverish dream, one of which shows the ideas of conception, birth, sickness and death.

Purity Ring have upped a sequel to their dank, pop-step number "Belispeak". Part II features the matter-of-fact flow of Danny Brown, courtesy of Fool's Gold records - which is a nice distraction from the 808 bashing. • PURITY RING [FB] • DANNY BROWN [FB] Posted by Duncan Jake.

We're starting to think that there's a direct link between cold climates and an ability to produce perfectly formed electronica - such is the caliber of music that Sweden, Iceland and Canada seem to throw out in droves. Perhaps the icy deserted landscapes that characterise those countries are in fact teeming with subterranean recording studios, where unhinged music researchers pump young tykes like Edmonton's  Purity Ring  full of drugs - inducing unabashed genre blending and sonic brilliance as a result. Whilst Purity Ring may sound the METAL ALERT klaxon, fear not, for Corin Roddick and Megan James are [...]

Lyrically complex and musically engaging, Purity Ring’s debut full-length shouldn’t be missed. 2012, 4AD 8.0 / 10.0 After my first encounter with Purity Ring and their early single, “Belispeak”, I would have never guessed the duo of Corin Roddick and Megan James’ debut album would be so enamored by [...]

Purity Ring Shrines 4AD Records [2012] Fire Note Says: Purity Ring live up to their name as their floating debut is both technically skilled and vocally memorable! Album Review: Shrines is the debut long player from from the Canadian duo Purity Ring. The band is the very young team of Megan James (24 - vocals) and Corin Roddick (21 - production) but you would [...]

Purity Ring - Shrines By Russell Warfield The really clever thing about the name Purity Rin g is that it’s so easy not to click with its irony for quite some time. Everything on Shrines is so slick and clean, and Megan James’ vocals so glisteningly modest, that it’s easy to let the album wash over you – despite its filthy electronic glitches insistently throbbing underneath the grace – as the naturally clinical output of a band with a name so white. That’s until you start listening [...]

Over the last few years Canada, and in particular Montreal, has been a rich source of fresh indie music talent. Bands like Arcade Fire, The Dears and Wolf Parade set the standard as the French Canadian city underwent a cultural shift during the last decade that was likened to Seattle’s rebirth in the nineties. And now, with a well-developed scene in place, a host of exciting new artists are emerging with seemingly musical invention and experimentation on their minds. Names such as Grimes, Doldrums and D’eon are acting like the new kids on the block, pushing the boundaries [...]

Is this the future of indie pop music coming out of Canada? Let's hope so since today is the day Purity Ring finally drops their long awaited debut album in Canada ( Last Gang Records ), USA & Europe (4AD)! With all the buzz surrounding them, there is a high anticipation. Funny that I pre-ordered Shrines on iTunes and I got the email from their people to listen to the album with a link to download it. For those that don't know them here is a blurb. Halifax/Montreal-based duo comprised [...]

Finally settling down to a record for review whilst attempting to unclog the WC may seem an unorthodox move and indeed it's quite undoubtedly not quite one of the presumed many activities Megan James and Corin Roddick were aspiring to soundtrack when they set to work on Shrines . That said, it's a decidedly acute way in which to discern what floats and what, within the context of their Purity Ring début full-length, doesn't quite work. Needless to say Fineshrine, with its loveable, anatomy-inspired lyrics of "cut open my [...]

Megan James en las voces y Corin Roddicks en los controles son Purity Ring , dúo que mañana lanza oficialmente su debut titulado Shrines a través del sello 4AD. Los de Montreal hace unos días mostraron el álbum completo en la plataforma NPR y desde ya amenazan con inundar páginas de blogs, aunque como siempre en estos casos, la alerta de hype está latente. Dream pop, sintetizadores al por mayor y algo de R&B hacen llamativa su propuesta, que puedes escuchar siguiendo este enlace . Más abajo el video de "Belispeak". [...]
