Listen to and download the new Purity Ring song "Obedear" below, taken from their debut album "Shrines" . As promised last week, Purity Ring were going to give us something new on Tuesday, and everywhere in the world apart from the left hand side of the planet it's now Tuesday, and they've duly delivered. The song was on loop on their website but now they've posted the entire track to their site, now called "Obedear" along with the details of [...]
You've already heard roughly seven seconds of this one on loop over at their website , and now Purity Ring has unleashed the first full track from their highly anticipated debut full-length Shrines , out this summer on 4AD . " Obedear " is the kind of thick, addictive future-pop gem that Purity Ring has displayed an uncanny knack for producing over the last year or so, as the duo remains a pretty close/natural distillation of just about everything we're into at the moment: [...]
The line-up for this years Sasquatch Festival came out on Thursday night and it is a pretty decent looking list. Even though there is roughly a -12% chance that I will be able to attend this year, I thought it would be kind to preview some songs from artists that I would be excited to go see. This is just a small sampling so head over to The Official Site for more info about bands playing and how to get tickets. Enjoy! Free mp3: Active Child - Hanging [...]
![[Best of 2011] Dave’s 111 Favorite Songs of 2011](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3994629_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link This is far more delayed than I might have hoped, but I enjoy making this list of my favorite songs annually, so I can return to it and see where my thoughts were within the moment. Ultimately, this list serves mainly as a compelling iPod playlist. I concluded my first list in 2009 with 111 songs, and for posterity's sake, have continued along with that tradition. The actual rankings are generally quite fluid, as I could say [...]
![[Best of 2011] Andy’s List](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3941236_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link This has been an odd year for me musically. While most people have professed to an easy time picking out what their favorite albums were over the past year, I’ve had some difficulty with it. For the past couple of years I’ve had an album that was a clear-cut favorite: not so in 2011. This year, in honor of that difficulty, I’m presenting my favorites as an unranked, randomized list. The list’s order does not [...]
Now we are getting into the meat and potatoes of this list. I can honestly say that every song from here down to #1 have been on HEAVY rotation on my iPod over the past 12 months. Let's gooooooo. 40. Those Darlins - Screws Get Loose 39. Blue Skies For Black Hearts - Majoring In The Arts 38. White Denim - Street Joy [...]

Braids — “Peach Wedding” After releasing one of the our favorite albums of the year , the newest Braids offering is part of a split 7” with the equally great Purity Ring . If you haven’t heard Purity Ring’s contribution yet, you absolutely have to check out Belispeak . Braids’ side, the wonderfully encompassing and emotional Peach Wedding , is just as necessary. With its luscious audial textures and Raphaelle Standell-Prestons [...]
Last year, right around the time summer turned to fall, we at Stereogum published our list of the 40 best new bands of the year . The idea of a "new" band is a pretty nebulous one, since many of the kids we listed were probably planning out their musical ventures in their basements since they were 11, but these were all artists who started to make a dent in our collective consciousness last year. This year, we've got another crop of 40 new artists who deserve your attention. So here we go again. A few clarifications [...]
Gobble Gobble, the avant-electro pop moniker of Cecil Frena, is no more. Frena now goes by Born Gold and announced the release of his debut LP, Bodysongs , on Hovercraft, his very own label. Besides it's pioneering style of electronic music, Gobble Gobble is also well-known for birthing Purity Ring . Born Gold is pop in the most unconventional sense, as it is bouncy, and even dancey in a weird, glitchy way. "Decimate Everything" reminds me of the auditory version of pointillism. Up close, the image seems marred by competing colors, but once [...]
Penguin Prison , a long-time ATG favorite, takes the gold in this week's top tracks with "Don't Fuck With My Money." Other close contenders include Purity Ring , Neon Hitch , St. Vincent and Moullinex . Get familiar with all these folks after the jump. 5. STREAM: Kamp - "Cairo (Moullinex Remix)" 4. STREAM: St. Vincent - "Cruel" 3. STREAM: Neon Hitch - "Black And Blues" [...]
In light of the recent VMAs, I'd like this to read like a bit of a cheesy award acceptance speech. "We've gotta keep this ship afloat somehow, folks. And were it not for the great music rolling in constantly, that wouldn't be a possibility. So I'd like to thank the music industry on the whole. And I'd be totally ungrateful if I didn't thank my friend and partner in crime, Jeremy Larson. Thank you." -Winston Robbins Senior Staff Writer
2011 darlings Braids announced last week they'll be releasing a new single on a split 73 with fellow Montrealers Purity Ring October 10 on Fat Possum Records. You'll be able to buy the single from both bands as they tour North America this fall. The Braids track has been named "Peach Wedding" and will also come with a download code; Purity Ring's track is called "Belispeak" and it available for preview now via SoundCloud and their main site (and now here). Who is Purity Ring, you ask? Good question since [...]

Future Pop. Mal wieder. Ehemalige Mitglieder von Gobble Gobble haben sich unter dem Pseudonym Purity Ring versammelt. Man muss sich seiner Sache schon ziemlich sicher sein mit so einem Bandnamen. Star Slingerisch samplen sie sich in Richtung dizzy Electro-Pop. Heisser Scheiss klingt genau so. Purity Ring - Belispeak Belispeak by PURITY RING Purity Ring - Ungirthed ( Download ) Lofticries by PURITY RING [...]
I apologize for the randomness of the songs in this weeks Mourning edition. I am doing my best to get caught up on some tunes that I recently got my hands on. Either way, this little playlist should keep your toes wiggling on this crappiest of Monday mornings. Enjoy! Free mp3: Atlas Sound - Terra Incognita Free mp3: The Ettes - You Were There Free mp3: [...]
Any news from the Purity Ring camp is good news. Today they’ve dropped their third single, “Belispeak,” as well as news of an upcoming 7” with Braids on Fat Possum due out in October. Their most recent effort gives us a little more of the same, which is a very good thing. The reverberating vocals, pitched every which way, deliciously bouncy bass, and highly syncopated synths floating on top combine to form what’s been termed “future pop.” It'll make for a nice addition to your post-hurricane party. MP3: Purity Ring – “Belispeak” [...]
Purity Ring : Belispeak - MP3 Les filles de Purity Ring sont (enfin!) de retour avec un Split 7” qu’elles partagent avec Braids . Sortie prévue chez Fat Possum le 11 octobre.
