2013 has started with some huge announcements, with even bigger releases, rivaling 2012 already with excitement about "what will come next?" Purity Ring releases this new track, in a very timely manner called Grammy. It was originally done by Soulja Boy & Ester Dean , but the electronic phenoms decided to take a crack at it. I'd say they hit this one out of the park. Along with the release of their rendition of Soulja Boy's Grammy , they had a few more 2013 announcements... Purity Ring announced an April North American [...]
This was to be expected: Someone was bound to cash in on the Grammy buzz and drop a song about how much they love (or probably hate) last night's Awards . Purity Ring already informed us of their penchant for rap by collaborating with Danny Brown , and they dropped a another hint last month when she started covering ATL rapper Soulja Boy live . We should have seen this coming. So, expectedly, Purity Ring's Megan James and Corin Roddick just realased a faithful studio cover of the earnest Soulja Boy jam, "Grammy" . Where Soulja [...]
Interesting time of year. Shit's getting chilly, and music geeks like myself are starting to juggle names in their head for best-of lists that, by and large, mean nothing. More importantly, there's a fresh crop of albums dropping that should help to round out the year. Plus, it's been a while since we dropped one of these, so there are even a few stragglers left over from early October. All quality shit, but I'm partial to the silky ass contribution from Lapalux and the '70s b-movie glory that is Action Bronson's latest. The Andy Stott is one of the most [...]
![DJ Bahler – Unfaithful [Purity Ring + The Killers + 2 Chainz]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4624013_lg.jpg)
If Mashup Thursday were any day, this Thursday would be that day. This is one of the coolest mash-ups I've come across in a while. The mix features three huge names in the music industry. Indie Electronic band Purity Ring , indie rock band The Killers , and Hip-Hop sensash 2 Chainz . DJ Bahler is a Los Angeles based Dj/Mcee, and this is from his newest mix-tape titled Clap Snap Snare . Snag this FREE DOWNLOAD if you're feeling extra crazy. If a FREE DOWNLOAD is on [...]
With Shrines behind them, Purity Ring is starting to move into even more avant-garde territory, like remixing their own "Belispeak" into an even more stuttered/spaced-out ether and having Detroit's Danny Brown drop his own rapid-fire lines on top of it all. Stream/download this weird/excellent collab below. The band's also offering up an instrumental edit, up for grabs here . +MP3: Purity Ring - Belispeak II (feat. Danny Brown) Connect to Purity [...]
Seemingly out of nowhere, this oddball collaboration features a textural reworking of Purity Ring's single "Belispeak" with a fiery Danny Brown verse spitballed over. The interaction came after about a month ago when Brown speculated working with Purity ring via his Twitter. After getting some version of "no," it apparently worked out into what is now "Belispeak II." Stream it for yourself below.
This totally sounds like an EDM number from the beginning, but then you're thrown a curve ball...and you say to yourself, "Yeah, this works". Not only does it work, but it's interesting to listen to. Hip-Hop sensation Danny Brown hops on this indie-influenced beat by Purity Ring , and the duo call it Belispeak II . Apparently this is a "tribute" sequel to Shrines' "Belispeak" . Purity Ring are a Canadian electronic music duo from Montreal, formed in 2010. The band consists of Megan James (vocals) and Corin Roddick (instrumentals) [...]
Well, it's finally happened: Danny Brown , the Man of One Million Guest Spots, has collaborated with an indie band. As Yours Truly points out , Purtiy Ring nabbed Brown for the "sequel" to their song "Belispeak". And by sequel, I mean they just flipped the song's verses in reverse. Check out the "Belispeak II" experiment below.
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive , New Music , Music Appreciation , New Releases Purity Ring Facebook The last night of Pop Montreal saw its fair share of big shows, from indie stars Grizzly Bear to Patrick Wolf 's special stripped-down performance. But the night marked the end of the festival and the end of a tour for Canadian duo, Purity Ring . Having [...]
On September 25th, Rhode Island noise-rock duo Lightning Bolt will release a rarities collection entitled Oblivion Hunter via Load Records. The seven-track effort collects "lost" cuts recorded in 2008 and will be available digitally and on 123 vinyl. The five-minute opener "King Candy" is pure, overwhelming dissonance, manically combining heavy drums, distorted vocals, and heaps of fuzz that detonate with the power of a noise-rock A-bomb. In support of the effort, the band will be on the road throughout the fall, starting tonight [...]

A few of my favorite new releases this week, including the latest from Passion Pit , the debut from Purity Ring , and a brand new EP from one my big time favorites — The Antlers . As always, be sure to check out Largehearted Boy for the rest of this week's new releases. The Antlers// Undersea [...]
Evocative electronic duo, Purity Ring , has been kind enough to make a stream available for the entirety of their upcoming album Shrines album, and NPR got the hookup. Of course, we wouldn't be your favourite blog if we didn't hook you up in turn, so take a listen and rejoice with us on this glorious day. Album Stream: Purity Ring - "Shrines" |
[ A few cool new tunes that have come across our radar...] Waters , "If Only" — Although released separately from the album "Out in the Light," which came out last year on TBD, Van Pierszalowski (formerly of Port O'Brien) offers another song he recorded during the same session. Bursting with psychedelic-pop riffs in the midst of deliriously fuzzy soundscape, it's hard to believe he left it off the record. Also, grab "Take Me Out to the Coast." Waters is [...]
Hot off one of the finest NXNE sets I saw last week, Purity Ring has released yet another single, "Fineshrine," that will be showing up on next month's Shrines debut. It's as hazy and glitchy and beat-driven as anything we've heard from the band thus far, but somehow even more thoughtful and reflexive. Shrines is available July 24 on 4AD / Last Gang . +MP3: Purity Ring - Fineshrine Connect to Purity Ring: Facebook [...]
Purity Ring dropped this new song "Shrines" off their upcoming album on their Facebook this morning. I have yet to hear a bad song from Purity Ring and this song is no exception. Stream it above and if you want to make it your own, they included a link for you to download the song for free here . Thank you Purity Ring! Heart you. Purity Ring's debut album Shrines out 07/24/2012 on 4AD and Last Gang Records. MP3: Purity Ring - Fineshrine |
Edmonton electro-pop duo Purity Ring have broken off a third piece of their debut LP, Shrines , due out July 24th via 4AD. You've already heard "Obedear" and "Belispeak" , and now, "Fireshine" is streaming below. Don't forget: Purity Ring is performing at our Forecastle Festival kickoff party on July 12th. Shrines Tracklist: 01. Crawlersout 02. Fineshrine 03. Ungirthed 04. Amenamy 05. Grandloves 06. Cartographist 07. [...]
"Belispeak" is the first track off Purity Ring 's forthcoming debut Shrines to get a video treatment, and it's a fittingly creepy, BREWER -directed piece that follows the band's Megan James through a shifting and alien swamp that twists to the band's jittering beat. "Belispeak" is available now as limited 123 single . You can grab Shrines when it's out on July 24, through 4AD / Last Gang . +MP3: Purity Ring - Belispeak [...]
The first track from the anticipated Purity Ring debut album 'Shrines' (due out on 24th July from 4AD) is the dreamy 'Obedear'. There's something in this song that reminds me of Grimes (another increasingly visible 4AD contender), perhaps it's the ethereal little-girl vocals, but whatever it is, I'm seriously liking the current wave of future pop sounds infiltrating the music scene. You can download 'Obedear' for free from the Purity Ring website: http://purityringsongs.com/ [...]
Ever since I saw Purity Ring at SXSW , I've been anticipating what was to come next. Their live set was thoughtfully put together and those two previous tracks 'Ungirthed' and 'Loftcries' are beautiful heady electronic songs. Since, then excitement has been ramped up by the Canadian duo signing to 4AD to release their debut album Shrines in July. From that album, 'Obedear' is a tiny bit more understated that the previous tracks but it bears all the hallmarks of what makes this band so magnetising for me: pinging synth [...]
So...I suppose I'm a tad bit late to the year-end-best-of-lists party but oh well. Josh already offered up his favorite tracks in the year-end best-of playlist and, while our lists have a lot of crossover, I thought I'd offer up my favorite 50 tracks from the past year. I've struggled with the idea of trying to put a 'best-of' stamp on anything I listen to based solely on the fact that I'm not all that comfortable with the idea of ranking all the tracks I love. This is more a representation of all my favorite tracks from [...]
