Purity Ring - Vinyle Noir Splash Rose

Description

With their fourth self-titled album, Purity Ring embarks on a new chapter as bold as it is immersive. Renowned for their unique blend of unsettling body imagery and ethereal electronic soundscapes, the Canadian duo here leaves behind the organic for the fantastic, constructing a true concept album inspired by cult RPGs like Nier Automata and Final Fantasy X. The album recounts the epic journey of two awkward characters – fictional reflections of mj and Corin – who try to rebuild a gentler world from the ashes of a broken universe. Each track acts as a quest, a stage in an inner journey tinged with melancholy and hope, carried by sounds that are both celestial and heartbreaking. But Purity Ring doesn't just dream: they propose a lucid utopia, where vulnerability is embraced, grief is shared, family is experienced as an act, and hope is rooted in collective reconstruction. An album that, under its guise of fiction, invites us to rethink reality. Pink splash black vinyl edition.
