Purity Ring is a Canadian electronic pop band formed in 2010. Consisting of vocalist Megan James and producer Corin Roddick, they have gained critical acclaim for their unique sound. Their debut album Shrines, released in 2012, was highly praised by both fans and critics alike. Another Eternity followed in 2015, further solidifying their place in the music industry.

One of Purity Ring's notable achievements includes having their song "Obedear" featured as the opening theme for the TBS / HBO Max show Search Party. This exposure helped introduce their music to a wider audience.

With influences ranging from POLIÇA to CHVRCHES, Purity Ring has carved out a distinct space within the electronic pop genre. Fans of artists such as Sleigh Bells, Grimes, and Phantogram will find themselves drawn to Purity Ring's captivating melodies and ethereal vocals.

The influential 4AD label was started in 1980 by music enthusiasts Ivo Watts-Russell and Peter Kent with financial help from Beggars Banquet, whose record store chain the pair worked for. Originally called Axis, they released an initial series of four 7" singles before finding out that the name Axis was already being used by another label. They quickly came up with a new name, 4AD, inspired by typography on a flyer announcing their releases. Under Ivo Watts-Russell's guidance, drawing influence from other UK indie labels such as Beggars Banquet, Postcard Records and Factory, 4AD quickly established a unique identity thanks to both the cover designs of Vaughan Oliver/v23 and the label's unique numbering system.

In 1992, 4AD entered a highly publicized Stateside distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records, opening offices in New York headed up by Robin Hurley. The label was largely run from California for most of the decade after Ivo Watts-Russell moved to Los Angeles in the mid-90s. In November 1999 it was announced that Martin Mills had taken over as chairman and relocated its HQ to London.

Decoding their unique numbering system reveals various formats like mail-order only releases (4AD), LPs (CAD), MP3 downloads (EAD), posters (FAD), videos (VAD) and more. The numeric portion of their catalog numbers
