Watching a brand new band gaining as much hype as fast as
Purity Ring has is an awesome/scary thing. I’ve heard everyone of the singles and as far as merging
dream pop and electronic they are certainly a stand out act. After a phenomenal showing at SXSW they
went from “Who’s that” to “WHERE CAN I GET THE ALBUM” for a lot of people
present company included. However,
I’m always a little hesitant when it comes to judging a new band by their
singles. If the rest of their
album plays like these songs I already have a place saved for them on the iPod,
or…lets not discuss the alternative.
Actually, I could just be a worrywart. These guys are pretty damn good.
The
music has a fantastic ambient presence.
Funky noise mixed with poppy beats accompanied by Megan James hazy
lyrics. Their singles pop, sway,
and groove. If you don’t believe
me check out this musical biscuit!
Also stay tuned for our verdict on their new album. I’m sure between me Steve and Eric one
of us will be talking about it. If you can't wait check out their stuff here.
Probably should have put a NSFW tag for that video. Boobies aplenty.
ReplyDeletePurity Ring has gotten a scary amount of press, it reminds me a bit of Black Kids http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF_gTiN2P-M, who got so much positive press before their first album came out, and then when it finally dropped expectations were way too high
