Purity Ring by Purity Ring

Purity Ring’s self-titled fourth album marks the beginning of a bold new era, the duo have crafted a concept album that serves as the soundtrack to an imagined RPG. Inspired by games like Nier Automata and Final Fantasy X, the record tells the story of two hapless characters — embodiments of James and Roddick— on a journey to build a kinder world amid the ruins of a broken one. Roddick reaches into his deepest musical memories to sculpt euphoric, otherworldly soundscapes of vintage digital synths, classical guitar, pan flutes, breakbeats, and haunted vocoders. Along with her unmistakable sound, James has unlocked an arsenal of vocal deliveries and a joyous, dizzying stream of consciousness in her words. Here with their first self-titled and self-released LP, Purity Ring steps fully into a dream they've been circling for years—one that feels vast, unrestrained, and true to who they’ve become.
