I last spoke about Purity Ring here way back in October 2011, When we went to see them at The Old Blue Last, I thought they had something special then and I certainly do now. The Canadian duo have a full length debut album out this week called ‘Shrines’ on 4AD.

Along with label mate Grimes they have created one of the albums of the year and carved out their own unique sound. Every track effortlously flows into the next, with genius hooks and an RnB slow jam vibe. You can catch them live in London next at the Scala in November. A bit of a wait I know, in the meantime listen to our favourite tracks from the album.

Going to see this buzz act tommorrow at Old Blue Last, They have been supporting Com truise & Neon Indian Recently so they are well worth a look. Purity rings are a sign of chastity apparently, I shall be wearing mine tomorrow.
