The Canadian duo Purity Ring has just released their debut album Shrines on 4AD records. Purity Ring was formed in 2010 and is comprised of the young duo of Corin (21) and Megan (24). The album features 11 tracks of synthy dream pop with some R&B influences. Last night, a CD release party in New York marked the beginning of an exciting year for Purity Ring, and that excitement will carry on throughout the year as the band embarks on a US tour through September.
Strangeways listeners have been eagerly anticipating a full length release from Purity Ring, and we predict they will be pleased with the result. Videos for Fineshrine and Belispeak can be viewed below, as well as a list of the bands US tour dates.
