About Purity Ring

The chilly electro-pop project of Corin Roddick and Megan James, Purity Ring began when the two were in Canadian indie rock act Gobble Gobble (which later became Born Gold). While the band was on tour, Roddick and James grew increasingly inspired by the sounds of contemporary R&B and wanted to make music reflecting that. Their first song, 'Ungirthed,' arrived in January 2011 to critical acclaim, and Purity Ring eventually signed with 4AD Records. Shrines, the duo's debut album, was released in July 2012. The following year, Purity Ring collaborated with Danny Brown on the track '25 Bucks.' After touring in support of Shrines, Roddick and James began making new music, this time working together in person in Edmonton instead of collaborating online as they had on their debut. The results were 2015's Another Eternity, a dynamic, streamlined set of songs featuring more revealing lyrics from James and Roddick's hip-hop-inspired production. Remixes of Mew, HEALTH, and Katy Perry tracks followed, and Purity Ring collaborated with the pop star on three songs from her 2017 album Witness. That July, the duo celebrated the fifth anniversary of Shrines' release by issuing the single 'Asido' (pronounced 'as I do'), which harked back to the body imagery of their debut album. ~ Heather Phares

History[edit]

2010-2013: Formation and Shrines[edit]

The band were originally members of the band Gobble Gobble. While on tour with them, Roddick began experimenting with electronic production and beat-making. James was asked to sing on a track called 'Ungirthed', thus forming Purity Ring.[1] The song was released in January 2011.[2]

On April 3, 2012, it was announced that Purity Ring was signed by record company 4AD worldwide and Last Gang Records in Canada.[3] Later the same month the band released their first official single 'Obedear', along with the announcement of their debut album, Shrines, which was released in July 24, 2012.[4] The album peaked at 32 on the Billboard 200, selling 90,000 copies in the US as of February 2015.[5][6] It was ranked 24th on Pitchfork's staff lists top 50 albums of 2012 and became short listed for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize the following year.[7][8][9] Later that year, they released a collaboration titled 'Belispeak II' with rapper Danny Brown.[10]

In February, 2013, the band released a cover of Soulja Boy's 'Grammy' as a free download in celebration of the opening of their official online store.[11] Fan reaction to the release was so strong that it crashed the website servers due to too many requests to download.[12] Later that year they released a remix of Lady Gaga's 'Applause' for the song's digital remix EP.

2014–present: Another Eternity and third studio album[edit]

In February 2014, the duo announced they were working on a second studio album. The band collaborated again with Danny Brown on his third studio album Old.[13][14] On December 3, 2014, they released the lead single from the album, 'Push Pull'.[15] On February 26, Another Eternity became fully available to stream online via NPR Music's First Listen.[16] The album was released in March 2015.[17] It charted at number 25 on the Canadian Albums Chart, becoming the band's first album to chart there, and number 26 on the Billboard 200.[18] On January 19, 2016, the band performed live on Conan. In April 2016 they also performed at Coachella in Indio, California.

On April 30, 2017 while performing at Fortress Festival, it was announced that the band will be taking a break from touring to record new material. The band co-wrote and produced three songs on Katy Perry's 2017 album, Witness.[19]

On July 24, 2017, on the 5th anniversary of their debut album Shrines, they released a new single titled 'Asido'. According to Purity Ring, this song is 'a standalone offering', suggesting that it won't be featured on their possible new record.[20]

In March 2018, the band wrapped up recording their third album.[21]

In August 2018, an unreleased Purity Ring song was featured in the trailer for Netflix's television series The Innocents,[22] speculated to be titled 'Bitter Rhymes'.[23]

Style and impact[edit]

Purity Ring's music is known for its combination of pop and hip-hop styles and James' 'childlike' vocals and 'macabre', 'gory' lyrics, that she takes from 'books and books full of things she's written' in the past.[24][25][26][27][28][29] Their music utilizes down-pitched, distorted vocals and percussive and vocal loops.[28][29] Genres that have been used to label the band include synth-pop,[30]dream pop,[31]trip hop,[32] and witch house,[33] while the band describes themselves as 'future pop'.[26] While their debut album was recorded separately with Roddick sending instrumentals to James over email to record vocals over, Another Eternity was the first time they recorded entirely in the studio together.[28][24] During live shows, both wear clothes custom designed and sewn by James, and Roddick uses a custom-built, tree-shaped instrument to drive both live sound and lighting.[1]

Pitchfork described Shrines as 'a definitive time capsule for the sound of 2012 (and 2013)'.[26] 'Grandloves', off Shrines, was sampled on Playboi Carti's song 'Fell In Luv',[34] while 'Fineshrine' was featured in an advertisement for UK online retailer Very.[35] 'Obedear' is the theme song to American television series Search Party. 'Sea Castle', off Another Eternity, was used in the trailer for Marvel's Runaways television series.[36]
