It should come as no surprise that Purity Ring have won accolades from both Katy Perry and Grimes, since the Canadian duo’s music is basically the synthesis of both ladies’ work. It’s a little bit weird, it’s a little bit pop. Vocalist Megan James and instrumentalist Corrin Roddick recently debuted the single “push pull” (embedded below), which sees the band getting a little less witchy and little more beachy. Their new album Another Eternity will drop on March 3 via 4AD, with CD, digital, and white vinyl options available. iTunes pre-orders get special instant access to tracks “begin again” and “push pull,” however.
After the album release, the duo will embark on an oh-so-lengthy world tour that kicks off in Brussels and wraps in Oakland. When they begin, it’s spring! When they end, it’s summer! Perfect for showing off your finest beach witch apparel and assembling your own new subculture.
