Purity Ring’s self-titled fourth album marks the beginning of a bold new era, the duo havecrafted a concept album that serves as the soundtrack to an imagined RPG. Inspired by gameslike Nier Automata and Final Fantasy X, the record tells the story of two hapless characters —embodiments of Megan James and Corin Roddick— on a journey to build a kinder world amidthe ruins of a broken one. Roddick reaches into his deepest musical memories to sculpteuphoric, otherworldly soundscapes of vintage digital synths, classical guitar, pan flutes,breakbeats, and haunted vocoders. Along with her unmistakable sound, James has unlocked anarsenal of vocal deliveries and a joyous, dizzying stream of consciousness in her words. Herewith their first self-titled and self-released LP, Purity Ring steps fully into a dream they've beencircling for years—one that feels vast, unrestrained, and true to who they’ve become.Since emerging in the early 2010s, James and Roddick have made a lasting impact on theelectronic pop landscape, building a world all their own with immersive self-produced albumsand groundbreaking visual live show experiences. Their debut Shrines (2012) earned Pitchfork’sBest New Music Honors and was shortlisted for the Polaris Prize, and breakout track“Fineshrine” is RIAA Gold-certified in the U.S. Over the years, they’ve collaborated with artistsincluding Danny Brown, Deftones and Black Dresses.
Purity Ring has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket goes to support The Black Trans Prayer Book, and their work to celebrate and uplift Black Trans & Non-Binary people. Purity Ring kindly requests that all attendees wear a respirator (N95 or KN95) for the duration of the show. There will be free high-filtration masks at the door for those who don’t have them. We want our shows to be a place where we take care of each other. wearing a high-filtration mask is an act of material care and a show of solidarity with disabled and immunocompromised people. It’s a small thing we can do to keep each other safe.
