Video: Purity Ring - "Push Pull"

It’s been tough to find the time for updates lately so sorry about that, once again it would seem real life is in the way of my virtual one. Gonna try and make up for some lost time by posting a handful of things I enjoyed that came out throughout the week.

First up is the new video from Purity Ring.

Two plus years have passed since the release of the Canadian duo’s debut, Shrines was released but the wait is almost over as Another Eternity is scheduled to drop March 3rd. “Push Pull” is the first single chosen for visual adaptation and was directed by Renata Raksha who has seemingly been working with the duo leading up to the drop.

Listen: Purity Ring – “Push Pull”

It’s been a while since we heard anything new from Purity Ring so it was a pleasant and unexpected surprise when “Push Pull” was shared yesterday. I don't have much information on this one; presumably it’s out first taste of the follow-up to Shrines? Whatever the case the soothing visuals were provided by  Renata Raksha and the tune sticks to the successful tried and true formula the duo established on their debut.

Listen: Danny Brown – “Old” (Full LP Stream)

Danny Brown's Old is set to drop next week on October 8th via Fool’s Gold but you can now stream it in its entirety via Spotify below. The follow up to the instant classic that was XXX features guest spots from emcee’s such as SchoolboyQ, Charli XCX, Purity Ring, Freddie Gibbs, A$AP Rocky and Ab-soul. Production duties are handled by Paul White, A-Trak, Rustie, Skywlkr and more.

Old is most certainly not XXX part two, the Detroit native shows a lot of growth as a writer and overall I would say that  the record is a little less “weird” than its predecessor but no less unique possibly making it a little easier to digest for more casual listeners. Production is to say the least colorful jumping all over the place stylistically often revealing a new favorite as the album progress’s from start to finish.

Listen: Jon Hopkins: "Breathe This Air" Featuring Purity Ring

Well this is a treat, Jon Hopkins has enlisted Purity Ring's Megan James to provide vocals for a alternate version of "Breathe This Air" from his Immunity LP, I say a treat because the tune was already by far my favorite tune on the album so this is just a bonus as far as I’m concerned. A limited-edition 12"will be available at Purity Ring and Hopkins' shows at Los Angeles' Henry Fonda Theater on August 27 and 28. (175 copies will be given away for free per night).


The 12" will also feature Hopkins' remix of Purity Ring's "Amenamy" making it a great little score if you manage to get one.

Video: Purity Ring @ Montreal Boiler Room (Full Set)

Purity Ring's Corin Roddick stopped by Montreal’s Boiler Room on May 5th to take over the decks with his brand of party music. The forty-two minute set showcases tunes that fit nicely into the Purity Ring aesthetic with a dream like vibe setting the tone for most of the evening although he does mix things up now and again with some more “chaotic tunes.’ Of course some Purity Ring tracks make an appearance as well and the crowed seems to be well into it, check it out below...

Listen: Purity Ring and Danny Brown -"Belispeak II”


Purity Ring just shared a stream of a collaboration with rapper Danny Brown entitled "Belispeak II". Yes, it's a sequel to Shrines'  well known "Belispeak". Danny Brown fires off some machine gun quick rhymes about being hungry and how his belly speaks.  This should be like Christmas coming early to fans of either of these artists.

Listen: Purity Ring - "Shrines" (Full Album Stream)


Our second full LP stream today is from a long leaked LP but one that’s been on heavy repeat by a lot of us for the last month plus. Canadian duo Purity Ring are coming out guns a blazing with their youthful electro pop sound that has pretty much crushed it in the first half of 2012. We’ve already shared singles “Belispeak,” “Fineshrine,” and “Obedear”and the rest of Shrines is just as good. For those just starting to pay attention now think The Knife without the creepiness and retro touches. Listen to Shrines HERE and purchase an official copy on July 24th via 4AD and Last Gang.
