There really isn't anything RYAN HEMSWORTH can't do when it comes to producing. Whether it's his silky smooth originals, his ridiculous (also: mostly hilarious) remixes or in this instance, his mixtapes - you know you're in for a good time. As people are finally beginning to catch onto this, he's slowly beginning to get some bookings that he deserves. One of those bookings is New York City's Downtown Festival - unsurprisingly it's curated by the local label, Downtown Records . The festival itself takes its stripes from [...]
by Tiana Feng Last night Purity Ring and Blue Hawaii took over the Danforth Music Hall for a night of electropop. The show was all ages and there were many youngsters who had no idea who Blue Hawaii was. I had seen them not too long ago and the duo played a much more confident set than last time. Blue Hawaii remixed Untogether in order to translate [...]
One of Purity Ring 's earliest tracks "Lofticries" still sounds baller two years later, bumped up to 14 and shaking the floor with its bass, so it makes sense for it to be remixed and sampled the internet over. Its most recent usage is being sampled on a new Angel Haze track, aptly-titled "Lofticries" , that borrows and loops the main refrain from the original and speeds it up a notch as Haze goes to town on the beat. If [...]
![[Listen] Dre Skull: "First Time" (Feat. Megan James & Popcaan)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4895743_lg.jpg)
Purity Ring brindó uno de los mejores sets en Coachella este fin de semana, así que debo decir que me llamó mucho la atención el hecho de que ahora Megan James esté siendo llamada por otro tipo de actos como Dre Skull para prestar sus vocales, y con ello hacer de tracks dedicados a la pista de baile algo sumamente adorable. "First Time" es el nombre de esta canción, la cual originalmente aparecía en un mixtape que Dre Skull lanzó el año pasado en forma de "Loudspeaker Riddim", pero para esta versión no sólo ha llamado a esta angelical [...]
Dre Skull is a Brooklyn producer who has collaborated with the likes of Major Lazer and Snoop Dogg (I'm ignoring the Lion title on purpose!). He has teamed up with Megan James, the wondrous voice of Purity Ring for a new track called "First Time" that also features Popcaan . It's a cool chance to hear her vocals outside of the Purity Ring spectrum and it works quite well.
There is a distance in all of us and between all of us, one that can only be bridged with true belief in another human being. Trust is something that can only develop where pain and hardships have been, and it's something that, when created, is more powerful than any ocean and continent keeping you apart. This is the thesis of Untogether , the stunning debut album and second release from Montreal's Blue Hawaii . Consisting of BRAIDS singer Raphaelle Standell-Preston and electronic artist [...]

by Tiana Feng Purity Ring is touring with Blue Hawaii this Spring! All tour dates are listed on their website . Grab a lovely cover of Soulja Boy's "Grammy" below. It actually sounds a bit different than anything on Shrines . It's glitchy but doesn't have the programmed lightbulb sound, but don't worry it's still pretty awesome.

Recuerdan que hace algunas semanas les había comentado que Purity Ring le hizo un cover a Soulja Boy en vivo hace algún tiempo? Y que los asistentes pensaron que era una nueva canción? Pues bueno, afortunadamente esta dupla ha hecho caso de mis plegarias (seguro no las mías) y ya ha grabado la versión de estudio de este excelente cover que hicieron de "Grammy", lo cual en lo personal hace que me den unas tremendas ganas de ver a Purity Ring en vivo lo antes posible, o ya al menos que nos den una actualización de [...]
![[Listen] The Hood Internet: "Pyramidspeak" (Purity Ring vs Frank Ocean)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4748736_lg.jpg)
The Hood Internet continua presentando mashups bien bien padres, y aunque los últimos que colgaron en su soundcloud no fueron muy de mi interés, el día de hoy estoy aquí para compartirles dos que tienen que ver con uno de mis dúos consentidos de los últimos dos años, Purity Ring . "Belispeak" es un track que originalmente editaron en 2011 dentro de un split del que en este momento ya no existen copias disponibles, pero fue hasta el año pasado cuando realmente tuvo una proyección mediatica bastante merecida con la aparición de su debut " Shrines " con [...]

At last, we're at the end of a week long campaign to bring you the 75 songs, split into five collections of 15 songs each, that soundtracked the year for me. There's been a post a day this week from Monday to Friday (here's short cuts to Monday's post , Tuesday's post , Wednesday's post , and Thursday's post ), and you can collection them all to get a pretty awesome compilation that I think is a good summation of the last 12 months. To download a .zip file with today's set of music, click the [...]
The forever badass duo that is Purity Ring have released a new video for their killer song " Lofticries " and it is fantastic. The video features Megan sauntering around in the pouring rain under a red umbrella, interrupted with scenes of individuals doing their thing. Watch the new Purity Ring video below, and if you have been living under a rock, go listen to their debut album, Shrines , this exact second. Connect with Purity Ring : [...]
With the release of their debut album, Shrines , Purity Ring has been absolutely killing it this year, so it's no wonder that one of the year's most-sought collaborators, Mr. Danny Brown , hopped on the duo's "Belispeak" for a sequel (not a remix) entitled "Belispeak II" . I would have to say that "Belispeak II" may have the best use of autotune I've ever heard (as this is coming from a massive autotune-hater). The [...]
![[Listen] Purity Ring: "Belispeak II" (Feat. Danny Brown)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4558072_lg.jpg)
Purity Ring es uno de los proyectos que ha entregado uno de mis discos favoritos de lo que va del año que, como obviamente sabrán, poco a poco esta llegando a su inevitable final, así que para ir comenzando a separar los materiales que estarán dentro de los listados de lo mejor de este 2012; la noche de ayer los chicos de Purity Ring decidieron tomar sus cuentas oficiales para dar a conocer esta secuela de " Belispeak ", en la que ustedes encontraran una aparición especial de Danny Brown en las vocales, lo cual [...]
by Tiana Feng I'm sure you have heard this by now, but if you haven't here is Danny Brown rapping over some Purity Ring. Don't normally like this type of thing, but I do dig it.
It's been a while in coming, but it's time: world, meet Deptford Goth . It's quite possible you've already met him, since we posted the video for his stunning "Life After Defo" , but let this be a more formal introduction. We might as well roll out the red carpet for it too, because he's hotly tipped for a lot of success (we don't call them Ones To Watch for nothing, you know?). Whatever success comes to this 28-year-old blue-eyed former teacher's assistant [...]
Hopefully you've been paying attention, because Churches are an exciting new band coming out of Glasgow who are starting to really pick up some steam. I first wrote about them back in May when their infectious, thundering, synth-drenched debut track "Lies" dropped onto the scene, and now a few months later they're back with their second track "The Mother We Share" , where singer Lauren's voice resembles Purity Ring 's Megan James, though it's pure and not masked by vocal effects. [...]
Youtube can be a total vortex of time in our contemporary lives. Some might entertain themselves with cat videos, others like me spend a great amount of free time watching music videos, acoustic versions, remixes and so on. It was navigating through the almost always awesome recommendations of Youtube’s side bar that I discovered the music of SINAH . Well, not exactly, but I'll explain: lately I’ve really been enjoying Alt-J ’s music, and, after watching one of their videos, I stumbled upon a stunning remix of [...]
![[review] Purity Ring // Shrines](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4427484_lg.jpg)
Sometime in the beginning of 2011, Purity Ring’s “Ungirthed” started circulating through blogs and mix CDs and podcasts, firmly entrenching its sputtering saccharine sound in the minds of those who like to keep abreast of the outer edges of pop music. There was a vinyl single released, along with a couple of additional songs to keep the masses sated while the mysterious band – who actually turned out to be a twosome from Edmonton, Alberta – prepared their debut album, Shrines , which was released last week through indie stalwart 4AD. All previous singles – the aforementioned [...]
"The album is ablaze, with James’s disturbing images irrevocably intertwined with Roddick’s soundscapes..." Purity Ring | Shrines Eagerly anticipated as the album that will cement Purity Ring’s status as one of the best new bands of 2012, Shrines does not disappoint. The first full length release of Canadian duo Megan James and Corrin Roddick is a haunting, vigorous testament to the talent that the band possesses. Featuring words written by Megan James but never intended for an album, the lyrics are reminiscent of a Tim Burton film, but the music ensures that [...]
