Purity Ring have returned to announce their third album. WOMB will be released on April 3rd via Crystal Math in Canada + 4AD in the rest of the world, and was entirely produced and recorded by the duo of Megan James and Corin Roddick. Today, they also reveal lead single “stardew” and announce a 25+ date North American tour including two nights at Brooklyn Steel in NYC and The Palladium in LA and includes two Canadian shows in Toronto and Vancouver.
WOMB follows Purity Ring’s 2012 internationally-acclaimed and highly influential debut Shrines and 2015’s another eternity. On another eternity, The New York Times praised the songs as “only a few steps removed from radio hits by singers like Ariana Grande and Ellie Goulding” while Rolling Stone called them “lustrous synth pop plus cavernous hip hop” and The New Yorker lauded the duo for “creat[ing] electro-pop that is as warm and human as it is cold and alien, an intoxicating combination that feels boldly futuristic.” In support of the album, the band performed on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Conan and the outdoor stage of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
WOMB will be available digitally, on CD and vinyl. Pre-order HERE.
