Purity Ring

I just found out about this duo. They only have 2 songs out so far, but they're phenomenal. It's a side project of one of the members of the band Gobble Gobble. Can't wait for a proper album from these folks. Heavenly.

Yeah, a friend told me about these guys a couple of weeks ago, great catchy stuff.

The video is pretty neat, and I like the production. Does it seem like vocals in music like this are kind of far back in the mix? Seems like I've been hearing that a lot lately with this style. I still like it, though.

Both tracks have been in heavy rotation for a few months .

They're great .

When I first heard it I was like "sounds like the same boring crap", and I almost clicked away. Fortunately I got distracted and let it play on in the background. By half way through the song my impression of it did a complete 180 and I was really into it. The music by itself wouldn't be that interesting, but the vocals really make it something special. The melody, phrasing, and lyrics of the vocal parts give me chills. I agree they could be a bit higher in the mix, but I kind of like the lofi aesthetic they have going on.

http://pitchfork.com/news/43641-rising-purity-ring/

amazing. these guys are the best thing i've discovered all year. still bumping lofticries and ungirthed like there's no tomorrow. loftcries is the song of the year undoubtably and possibly my favourite song ever. this one is stunning too.

can't wait for the lp.

Fuckin' win . Thanks for the heads up , Canyons .

I can't wait to seem them live in October

New song + preorder of forthcoming album (CD/LP).

I listened to the new song once but it didn't have the same impression the other 3 have. Still psyched on the LP and Lofticries is still my jam.

I very much agree on the new track. I fear the whole album will just be a collection if samey sounding songs.

Their videos were posted in the Futuregarage thread a while back.

Lofticries is some track alright.

loving their sound, can't wait for the new record.

I've seen them a few times and opened for them, Born Gold (formerly Gobble Gobble) are fucking fantastic live. A lot of energy, think Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt.

I think it's being a little overrated. But it's good.

Just heard the album, indeed a lot of similar sounding songs, but some of them are really good. I don't find any track as good as lofticries though, after the first listen.

'Lofticries' is indeed really great! Hadn't heard of this group; thanks again WATMM!

My favorite from the album is Saltkin, such a cool song.

Compressed as fuck. Sounds almost like Clark or FlyLo.

Heard this somewhere before, but I can't quite remember where.

Ok, what the fuck, Beggars blocks the U.S.? Fuck region copyright bullshit. STOP MAKING IT HARDER FOR ME TO HEAR YOUR MUSIC OR I WON'T BUY IT.

This stuff is actually pretty cool. Although around where I live its become total hipster fodder. I wont let that spoil the music for me, though

I actually went into a long, detailed rant with a friend that could be summed up in this statement. I feel Purity Ring excels at making music that takes a lot of existing (especially recent) styles like witch house and all this trendy retro synthpop into one excellent and distinct formula. But unlike other producers I love who make "samey" tunes (Burial for example) I'm not quite captivated by Purity Ring yet. "Obedear" is the only earworm for me so far. Yep, little overrated but good indeed.
