Purity Ring - Shrines


 After hearing about them and admittedly forgetting about them only to see them live at Sasquatch this year. Purity Ring has made a resurgence in my life in a big way. Their debut album dropped into my lap and turned out to be just what I needed. Purity Ring are a Canadian duo that churn out refreshingly modern songwriting and leave you wanting more. You could call it trip-hop. It's female vocals laid gently over bass heavy tracks that aren't overpowering. General poppyness is mixed in as well with the vocals sounding like they could be in the next hit indie song you start to hear on the radio all of a sudden. Make sure you check out this album as soon as you can and if you have the opportunity make it a point to see them live.
