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.

purity ring make lullabies for the club, drawing equally from airy 90s r&amp;b, lush dream pop, and the powerful, bone-rattling immediacy of modern hip hop. megan's remarkable voice is at once ecstatic and ethereal, soaring joyfully through corin's carefully chopped beats, trembling synths, and skewed vocal samples. despite the band's young age (corin is 21, megan 24) and short gestation (they formed in late 2010), purity ring have delivered one of 2012's most assured - and anticipated - debuts with 'shrines'. indeed, shrines feels like anything but a first record - its vocal hooks are inescapable, its lush production futuristic and sophisticated but also as pristine as anything on pop radio. the record's 11 tracks trace a unique aesthetic universe that is carefully crafted and fully realized - deftly walking the lines between trap-rap exhilaration and otherworldly rapture, pleasure-center pop and diaristic emotion, childlike dread and total self-possession. purity ring's is a universe that invites exploration and demands revisiting.
