Purity Ring’s self-titled album: witch-pop royalty reclaims the throne (with extra strobe lights).
Purity Ring’s self-titled album is the sonic equivalent of walking into a haunted candy shop at 3AM. Equal parts sweet, eerie, and undeniably addictive. Ten years on from carving out their witch-pop throne, Megan James and Corin Roddick return with a collection that feels like both a full-circle victory lap and a bold reintroduction.
The record thrives in its duality: crystalline vocals floating over production that refuses to sit still. One moment, you’re lulled by lullaby-like whispers; the next, you’re being sonically dropkicked by beats that sound forged in an inter-dimensional rave. Purity Ring’s talent has always been balancing tenderness with menace, and this self-titled effort cranks that contrast into neon technicolor.
It’s not nostalgia, it’s evolution. While debut Shrines made you feel like you were eavesdropping on a ghost humming in your bedroom, Purity Ring is that same ghost upgrading to a glittering exosuit and commanding the dance floor.
“Purity Ring,” out now on The Fellowship via Secretly.
My highlights: “Soshy” melts into your brain like molten glass, “Dreamstate” feels ripped from a cybernetic cathedral, and “Eunoia” is pure, distilled Purity Ring—cryptic, catchy, and just a little cursed.
This album is proof that Purity Ring never lost their strange magic. They just made it sharper, darker, and more addictive than ever.
