New faves having seen Purity Ring in concert

I have liked Purity Ring a long time but mostly listened to their popular songs, not full albums. I bought their recent album on vinyl and loved it, and went to their recent show in Toronto. A couple pf my new favorites having left the show:

Pink Lightning - just wow. Hearing this first time combined with the hologram setup was amazing (even though one of the fans glitched out during the song).

Repetition - i clearly need to get another eternity

Sinew

Any other hidden faves I might be missing?

Meeting mj & Corin after the recent London show! 🇬🇧

I was the only one who waited at stage door for a photo with Purity Ring at the London gig recently and ended up with an experience I’ll never forget!

Such a kind and genuine band. Even took their time to have a brief chat too! Makes being a fan for over 10 years even more worth it.

Also had a chat with Yuni (Yuniverse), who was genuinely interested in what I thought about the show and how lucky we were to see this specific one with all of the production and visual effects planning that went into it.

The impact of the entire evening still hasn’t quite sunk in yet and the VIP experience before the show was so special and intimate.

I hope they come back soon and I wish them all the best for future projects and shows!

The Begin Again video is amazing

I swear, Purity Ring are up there with someone like Banks in being so massively underrated. What take an act to the next level is artistry and creativity. Michael Jackson wouldn’t have hit the peak he did if he was just a singer. Kanye wouldn’t be this unstoppable force purely on the strength of his music.

Purity Ring have really put in the work. Their videos are so good, but since discovering ‘Begin Again’ last week, man that video is incredible. Any thoughts on what it’s about? Clearly themes of life, death and rebirth but very surreal and abstract.

I love videos like this. They’re what made me become a videographer. Because, it looks stunning and has all the presence of a movie in how it spikes your imagination, but all contained in this three minutes of wonder.

Side note, how much does Megan James look like Rachel from Blade Runner. She’s good in this
