When Danny Brown was asked over Twitter which artist he'd most like to work with, the gritty Detroit emcee responded with a surprising Montreal-based trap hop duo Purity Ring . Though the discrepancies seem great, both the artists have similarly seen their sudden rise in stardom this year amongst the Pitchfork crowds with their strange likeability, familiar in experimental nature and distinguishing sounds. Surprising or not, Purity Ring bring a sequel to their eclectic single from their critically acclaimed debut album Shrines with the Danny Brown laced "Belispeak II" "remix," a rework that [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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) [...]
Purity Ring just dropped this one via their twitter : the "Belispeak" sequel , featuring Detroit's Danny Brown :
A year ago, two unassuming 20-somethings took the stage at The Barbary for a crowd of maybe fifty people. With a DIY backdrop consisting of a bed sheet and some colored spot lights, Megan James (vocals) and Corin Roddick (production) presented their in-progress project Purity Ring with a youthful vibrancy and hopeful exuberance. While James’ infectious smile was enough to animate the audience into a spirited sway, Roddick’s smart mixing and instrumental flair sent everyone in a dizzying spell. Here the genesis of Purity Ring was a diamond in the rough: unfiltered, yet incredibly talented. [...]

T.Shirt is always bringing something different to the table, and his Shrines mixtape is no exception. A mash-up of his unique brand of New York lyricism with Purity Ring’s album [...] The post T.Shirt x Purity Rings - Shrines Mixtape appeared first on The Smoking Section .
En la cultura popular, o al menos en la norteamericana, el purity ring , o anillo de pureza, era usado por las personas para simbolizar su castidad. Hoy en día, por supuesto, la práctica ha sido descartada junto con el concepto más aceptado de la castidad. Pero una banda oriunda de Montreal toma el nombre para otorgarnos unas melodías castas y sombrías, electrónica experimental que demuestra ser pegadiza al mismo tiempo. Shrines , el disco debut de Purity Ring , es uno de los mejores esfuerzos que ha salido al mercado en lo [...]

If you’re a regular reader here on Thoughts on Tracks, you know my love for Purity Ring . And if you aren’t a regular reader here on our fun little blog, well then, I’ll just be honest and say you probably should be. In any case, if you’re within a short car ride, megabus trip, riverboat or even walking distance to Cincinnati then you need to get yourself here this Saturday night for when Purity Ring blows the lid off Mayday in the eclectic Northside neighborhood. Having gotten the opportunity to scope them in person earlier this [...]
It would be easy to confuse 21-year-old instrumentalist Corin Roddick with a much more experienced producer. According to the label 4AD, Roddick began experimenting with hip-hop and R&B beats during a six month tour in 2009 or 2010, and shortly thereafter got Gobble Gobble band mate Megan James to lay down vocals for what would become the song "Ungirthed," released in January of 2011 under the moniker Purity Ring. Depending on when you calculate the start date, that's somewhere around a year, though more likely less. With that kind of seeming effortlessness it was almost inevitable [...]
"Fineshrine" is a song that was released quite a while back, but it's gaining a lot of new momentum as Purity Ring's star continues to climb higher and higher . The Canadian dream-pop duo have been crafting their shimmery synth beats since 2010, but with the recent release of their excellent debut, Shrines, they are hitting everyone's radar in a major way. "Fineshrine" is a perfect peek at what Shrines has to offer: perky drum sounds and hip-hop beats, the high, elegant vocals of Megan James, and playful, unexpected lyricism ("cut open my sternum and pull my little ribs around [...]
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 is not alone. With Frank Ocean crawling up the Billboard charts from “underground” Oddity , and Vampire Weekend igniting the gentrified swayers at Pitckfork summer music festival earlier this month, Purity Ring’s Shrines presents itself at a fashionable hour. Toeing the line between marginalized music crafted for the ever-blurring community of indie henchmen versus the Power 106 bangers (sorry you out-of-towners) we drive slow to, is the shared, scattered space that Purity Ring finds itself in . During an age where computer music can make a fifteen-year-old famous and Justin [...]
Purity Ring's approach to synth pop on Shrines blurs the line that separates dark and cute. While it brings the new LP some unique qualities, the overall experience of these eleven tracks is a bit one-dimensional. WATCH THE REVIEW
