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.

Our deep admiration for the musical genius that is Purity Ring doesn't stop with their music. Behold the new video for "Fineshrine," the latest single off their debut album Shrines . The piece is yet another feather in the cap for the Canadian duo. It's haunting use of chiaroscuro paired with carefully placed, fantastical imagery highlights themes of pain, loss, desire and imagination. This is no happy-go-lucky video, but it stays incredibly true to the song. As Sean pointed out in June , this is without question the band's best [...]

Purity Ring are another Canadian act making waves, floating the future beat/dubstep sway to the surface of the alternative music world. A life-raft of credibility for modern pop music to cling to. "Fineshrine" possesses a spacious, beaming euphoria that could easily fill a stadium. The vocal reminds me a little of Metric. A friend recently showed me the track "Obedear" which I think is the stand out so far. • PURITY RING [FB] • ALT. DOWNLOAD | Purity Ring - Fineshrine [via Pitchfork] [...]

At the rate Purity Ring has been dropping incredible singles off their upcoming debut album, Shrines , it's hard to imagine what they've got left for its release on July 24th. Nevertheless, their consistency and depth continue to amaze me. Yesterday the band gave us another sneak peek with "Fineshrine," the third single released off Shrines in as many months. "Fineshrine" is undoubtedly the strongest of those, and could even dethrone "Ungirthed" as the best track they have released to date. Though the song has a much sunnier disposition than [...]

![Purity Ring & AGOR @ Cafe Dekcuf [May 23, 2012]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4286101_lg.jpg)
I was very excited for this sold out show at Cafe Dekcuf on May 23, 2012. There was some buzz and excitement surrounding this show. Considering the headlining band's debut album won't drop until July 24, 2012. I have a feeling that once the album drops, they will definitely explode.
