Purity Ring is a Halifax/Montreal-based duo comprised of Corin Roddick and Megan James. Their highly anticipated debut album Shrines will be released by 4AD on July 24th.Purity Ring make lullabies for the club, drawing equally from airy 90s R&B, lush dream pop, and the powerful, bone-rattling immediacy of modern hip hop. Megan’s remarkable voice is at once both ecstatic and ethereal, soaring wistfully above Corin’s intricately chopped drum programming, trembling sub-bass, and skewed vocal samples.
