[MP3] PURITY RING have just UNGIRTHED their debut single on us all
ears ringing, teeth clicking
I have no idea what ungirthed is supposed to mean but it may have something to do with the Capoeira-like battle dance between the ghostly dub drone and spritely angelic singing that is this magical song. Set that scene amidst stuttering and wobbly beats and twinkling instruments and you’ve got one of the more oddly addictive songs of the year so far. No surprise, really, when you know that Purity Ring is the side project of one of the guys in Canadian indie-spazzers Gobble Gobble, one of my favorite bands to freak their way onto the scene last year. Purity Ring is a different kind of beast, but one that that seems doubtless to lumber it’s way through our speakers much more this year.
too
played this jam well over 100 times in the last 3 weeks. very good stuff.
Haha, damn. Does that mean you “ungirthed” the song?
Didn’t even make it midway through the song before I had to leave a comment. This is a tune my friends.
check out Purity Ring’s b-side to this jam – “Lofticries.” I can’t decide which one of these is my favorite song of 2011 so far, but they are 1a and 1b. for sure TBE-worthy.
I can’t get into Loftcries nearly as much as this one. Really tried too. Still stoked on these guys though
awww. i’m loving ’em both. and ready for them to drop more jams.
