Purity Ring‘s debut album, Shrines, has got to be one of the most anticipated of the year in the indie realm. Instead of saturating the market with new music, they’ve released a hand full of tracks one at a time, never failing to impress. The Halifax/Montreal-based duo makes “lullabies for the club,” and with indie pop getting darker and more eclectic, Purity Ring is coming in at just the right moment.
Here’s “Fineshrine,” the second song from Shrines, coming July 24 on 4AD.
