Purity Ring announce Australia tour dates inc. Dark Mofo + share ‘lemonlime’
Electronic pop pioneers Purity Ring are set to deliver their ethereal concert experience in Australia this June – their first local tour dates in 10 years – with headline shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and an appearance at Dark Mofo. With the news arrives new single ‘lemonlime’, lifted from their self titled album sessions. LISTEN TO ‘LEMONLIME’ HERE + BUY TICKETS HERE.
Coming full circle with the impetus for their latest record is today’s ‘lemonlime’. The glitch-haze number showcases Purity Ring’s singular sound with dappled percussion and synth flourishes propelled by twinkling arpeggios. The first song written for their self-titled album, and the last release of this era, ‘lemonlime’ is a song of survival – a sad dream, if you wake up. An extension of the album’s overarching theme and search for goodness in the face of plight, it speaks of caring for someone with chronic illness, imagining a place we can all rest.
Set to showcase their generational hits live amongst the latest offering, Purity Ring mark their grand return to Australia across June with tickets on sale now and all tour routing details below. Their recent self-titled album is the most expansive the duo has ever sounded, with their visual identity deeply seeded in the sound of the record. Throughout they explore creative frontiers that are brand new to them yet profoundly self-actualising. Celebrated across NME, Rolling Stone, Paste, DIY, Northern Transmissions, FLOOD, The Line Of Best Fit, and many more, this is a record about letting go, embracing change, and dreaming forward into something freer.
A concept album that serves as the soundtrack to an imagined RPG, Corin reaches into his deepest musical memories to sculpt euphoric, otherworldly soundscapes of vintage digital synths, classical guitar, pan flutes, breakbeats, and haunted vocoders. Along with her unmistakable presence, mj has unlocked a new arsenal of vocal deliveries and a joyous, dizzying stream of consciousness in her words. When a loved one became newly disabled, mj became a full-time caregiver, an experience that continues to expose the world’s inadequacies and fuels her vision of a better one.
