A few weeks ago I chose Purity Ring’s Another Eternity as one of my top three favorite albums of the year for our Best of 2015 (so far) List. The cool thing about it? Now I get to hear parts of this album live when Purity Ring comes to Florida — The Ritz Ybor in Tampa on Thursday, September 10 and House of Blues Orlando on Saturday, September 12th! I’ve wanted to see them since 2012 when they released their debut album Shrines.
This Canada-based electronic duo really makes you want to move. Heavy base lines that vibrate in your chest, electronic beats that build and release right on your bobbing head, and sweet, angelic vocals by Megan James that could melt any cold heart: it’s a solid recipe for a crowd full of smiling faces and dancing feet. I’m a total sucker for this kind of music.

If you needed someone to compare them to, I suppose you could categorize Purity Ring with the likes of Phantogram, Broods, Odesza, and maybe Chvrches, but really they’re just AWESOME, so comparing isn’t all that necessary. They bring an incredibly sexy and unique sound to their original tunes and cover songs alike. Check out their unexpected cover of Soulja Boy’s “Grammy,” that just about broke the internet when it was released:

The last time Purity Ring was in Orlando they played The Social and I heard it was a really great, intimate experience. I’m excited to see them at The Ritz Ybor in Tampa on Thursday, September 10 and at House of Blues on Saturday, September 12 with that sound system and production! I’ve been told Purity Ring’s shows are really visually appealing, too. (For their performance on Conan O’Brien they covered the set with glowing Himalayan salt lamps. Can you think of a warmer, more beautiful vibe to create?) I’m ready to love all the lights, sing all the songs, and dance all the dances. Come along, won’t you?
You be the moon, I’ll be the earth, and when we burst, start over, oh darling.
