Review:
Canadian electronic dream-pop group Purity Ring (made up of Megan James and
Corin Roddick) deliver a good first album with Shrines. When first listening to
the group, they reminded me of another Canadian duo Crystal
Castles. However, the more I listen to Purity Ring, the less they resemble
Crystal Castles. Purity Ring lacks the raw power and energy, but they have a
much more enchanting sound. They mix their pop melodies with very personal
lyrics both inviting the listener to dance and have fun, but also find deeper
meaning in the songs (not always the case in what seems to be today’s overly frivolous
pop music). Shines is well worth checking out for fans of more electronic
sounding pop. 3/5
Essential
