[POSTPONED: May 13, 2020] Purity Ring [moved to April 21, 2021]
Purity Ring is a duo from Edmonton–multi-instrumentalist/producer Corin Roddick and vocalist Megan James.
They put out a couple of albums and then disappeared.
I rather enjoy the way Wikipedia describes their sound
a combination of pop and hip-hop styles and James’ “childlike” vocals and “macabre”, “gory” lyrics, that she takes from “books and books full of things she’s written” in the past. Their music utilizes down-pitched, distorted vocals and percussive and vocal loops. A creative key to their sound is a sometimes aggressive use of a volume regulating technique called “sidechaining,” in which the rhythm of one instrument affects the volume of another.
After a five year hiatus, they returned in 2020 with a new album WOMB, just in time to have their tour postponed.
