Purity Ring - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@DarshUK1]

This is one of those artists that I'm gonna remember fondly when I'm old and my kids are listening to space-trap

these two are decades ahead of their time. people will finally start appreciating these guys in 2030

how do you like their new album?

[@savannahgarcia7976]

@@heysaxia I completely LOVE it! All I hoped it would be. Weird and wonderful!

Anyone else almost cry listening to them? I have such an emotional attachment to this band and im so glad that they are expanding and continuing to be such a success.

YES!

[@tedeibeakawaii]

Me too! Its almost embarrassing how emotionally attached to get to their music. Not their image mainly, but their music. Sometimes i wish there was someone I could share it with. I hope you're still around and have heard their new album!

This duo is so classy-quirky, I can't get enough. Hypnotic voice, abstruse lyrics. Purity Ring is amazing.

[@benwearne542]

"Classy-quirky." Well said

[@MrFeyerwire]

For an album they created from scratch, this sounds amazing. I am a long time listener of music from hundreds of genres from all around the world. With all of that said "Lofticries" is a song I will never forget as long as I live, it is a masterpiece.

[@darkendkefka]

I'll never regret seeing them live. Among the best headliners I've seen. Their production is amazing, but the crystals had evolved into something else when I saw them

[@0002pA]

I was introduced to Purity Ring back in 2019 and this is the first time I hear them "live". It was quite unusual to hear these songs as "new" ones, when it's the ones I first was introduced to them with. Bodyache, Push pull and Begin again are fucking spectacular.

[@Xch4r3nd4X]

I can watch drummer hit those percussion lights all damn day O.O

[@ampinghard111]

I think it's so beautiful how everything from her melodies to the electro instrumentals are so unique and different from anyone else, and it's still so damn good. Like when u hear a new Purity Ring song, you instantly know its them cause who else sounds like that???

[@ledumpsterfire6474]

You must be lucky enough to have pretty much missed the whole mainstream trend from like 2012 or 2014 to 2020, because EVERYBODY in the pop world was trying to sound like this. These guys got skirted hard by bigger names.

push pull - 0:17 bodyache - 10:48 begin again - 13:50 Was first introduced to these guys Record Store Day 2015, received a free sticker and decided to check them out. Have loved them since then

[@jjbyrd04]

Ive never heard anyone with a live performance sound EXACLTY like their album recording come as close as this...they are on fucking point

[@LifeofAlexis]

I've been obsessed with them since Fineshrine, and I don't think I've ever been more in love with a band ever. another eternity is incredibly perfect and the music videos that keep coming up making me fall in love with them even more! So excited for their next album I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT

[@MaxProjectChannel]

This is so true! Sometimes i like to turn their alboms and lie on the floor...

[@UncleGus007]

This ^ you just described me. I can listen to Fineshrine on repeat for the rest of my life.

[@UncleGus007]

And the coolest part is, I still haven't listened to all of their music. And I've only just started getting to know them as a band and as individuals. I feel like a kid before Christmas.

[@SpookyStreetlight]

Same here man. Someone played Fineshrine on turntable.fm years ago and I was hooked instantly. Unfortunately I didn't dig deeper until a year and a half ago, but damn I'm glad I did.

[@SouPNaZi316]

Letterkenny Season 6 finale credits song was fineshrine! Just getting into them hard!

[@saeklin]

Couple of prodigies. I saw them live and it was one of most chill sublime experiences of my life.

[@mkcarter19]

This is so good I "almost" do not believe she is singing this live. Sounds amazing.

[@ledumpsterfire6474]

I'm fairly sure there's some really light pitch correction, my engineer ears are picking up the tiniest bit of funny business at certain points. That said, I think it's 95% her, like it's just there to take excellent to perfect.

[@mjbee]

Best lyricist of all time

[@notemily336]

its strange, i heard lofticries around the time it came out and i’ve always loved and listened to that song on and off again but never actually looked more into purity ring. the same thing happened with begin again, i must have heard it on a playlist and was instantly hooked but those were the only two songs i knew... until womb came out, and i thought i’d FINALLY listen to all of their material and i am so so So in love. i really regret not listening to them sooner because for the past month since womb came out i literally have not listened to anything else. purity ring have instantly shot up to my list of top favourite artists

[@Olhado256]

With Purity Ring, if you're tuned to the frequency at which they operate, it just hits you like a religious experience

[@johny9101]

@@Olhado256 you worded it so perfectly, you're correct- I think you either love it, or don't, no In-between 😅

[@ledumpsterfire6474]

Hah, same. Begin Again was the first one I came across, checked out a couple more and liked it but stopped there. Then heard Fineshrine on Letterkenny, and started looking into who it was, only to remember I had a few songs from them already. Went on a binge at that point lol

[@ollie2244]

I remember listening to Purity Ring almost 10 years ago! They've come quite far since then.

[@chaoswitch1974]

That's what I was just thinking.

[@drewwil97]

I swear they sound better during live sets.. I should see them live to fully make sure, You know..for science!

[@tylera.williams6037]

+SavvyW I wasn't a huge fan of Purity Ring until I caught them live... it was incredible.

[@KnuckleCuts]

There live shows are so mesmerizing! And I find her white girl dancing adorable lol

[@Diabetictwink]

+Tyler A. Williams same! Seeing them live made me appreciate them so much more then I already did.

[@israelportillo9469]

SavvyW saw em live in 2014 gotta say I was hella impressed

[@patriciarippe1349]

I swear the performance of bodyache is still living in my skin. Seriously. One of the best shows I have ever seen. Will be staying with me for life. Pretty sure I'll be 90 and still talk about that show. HANA opened for them too. Check her out too if you can!

[@tristanjackson4108]

I love this particular version of push pull. They changed the melody slightly towards the end of it vs. what's on their official track. I like it much more this way.

[@mj521]

Wow! sounds exactly like the studio songs!

[@frank09busa]

MJ better imo

[@sk8shred993]

I agree. The sound quality is even better!

[@sammed92]

KEXP does some crisp recordings

[@danielaranda2114]

Ive been listening Purity Ring for 2 years now , I think that in all my life I can really say I enjoy very much the music you do, its uplifting, closer to God than mostly any other electronic music, you guys keeo it up, I love your music soo much; please let me know when you come to Mexico Ill show u around!

[@leaorielsantichen6468]

Hi

[@jztouch]

I actually had to make myself listen to these guys over and over before I started to really vibe with them. Now they’re one of my favorites. I love the sound, her voice and especially the lyrics which seem to be all about how physicality and emotions interact. Very unique band. Can’t wait for their new album as their new singles are their best work yet!

[@jonathonziegler1775]

BMO another one of my faves!

[@shaodynasty1017]

graves just came out. the single graves is SOOOO Good worth the wait

[@st3ffyk]

Wow her voice is just so ethereal - incredible to see her sing live!

[@overtonecz]

hmmmmm, YEAH! *Her* voice is incredible! - it really reminds me the amazing voice of Björk.

[@ZEntROStick]

Wow! I always thought she put some weird effect on her voice but that's actually the way it sounds! :O

[@johnnycochicken]

there are effects sometimes but yeah! :D

They are so good! Need to see their show live!! Samples, Bass, Vocal and the way their samples are put together, is unique sensual experience.

[@peter2recycle]

Listened to a Live Concert recording on the local radio here in Australia today, and thought what a clear or shall i say pure voice ,without knowing the name of this duo. Most performers today cannot reproduce what they record , these guys sound better live.

[@18thirty1]

Man I get the chills listening to her beautiful voice live. Amazing 👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥

[@clevelandfan295]

This is such an awesome job by the dude on the right. He was messing with that box the whole time for all sorts of effects, and, from what I can tell by listening to the album, it was a flawless performance. Overlooked!

[@ignaciomoreno1505]

You really need to have curiosity for music to find the most beautiful songs hidden like gold. I ❤️ Purity Ring, there music takes me to a place I've never been with the soulmate i would hopefully find...for now just let me dream about that imaginary time of my life

[@OptimisticAries1]

I love these guys they put so much thought into their albums! So glad I met Megan, she's awesome!

[@camuscolorado]

They're just perfect live, it's impressive. I also find it super interesting how she goes from seemingly nervous, sort of uncomfortable when speaking to absolutely dominating the room 5 seconds into the song. Not sure if she's an introvert necessarily, but it goes to show how much you need to give people space for them to shine.

[@proxyzero2485]

oh man I love this group

[@alexiacolette9994]

Sooooo good. I was expecting them to sound horrible like some celebrities when they sing at concerts but they sound soooo good.

[@KNakanishi]

Fun fact: This is the only video online of Purity Ring performing live that is both *ACTUALLY* in HD, and has the highest bit rate audio. Seriously, screw anyone that records concerts on their cellphone and put it online. Just stop. You don't have the money, talent, or work ethic to actually do a good job recording a live performance like the pros do. Thank you KEXP for actually providing a worthwhile service to the public.

[@Двойнойнокаут]

I'm in love with her voice

[@steelparadox]

I found Purity Ring when Danny Brown did the song 25 Bucks. I wasn't really into anything but hip hop, but the beat and the singing on the hook was dope, so the first song I found was Bodyache. Since that day, my musical taste just started veering in wild directions and I realised how musically shallow I had been for years. And I haven't given them the credit that they deserved. I hadn't really listened to them for quite a while until they just did the Better Off Alone cover. I'm fully back in love with Purity Ring and have already fixed my spotify playlists accordingly. And looking forward to the stuff I missed while I wasn't paying attention. And always love to KEXP for these videos from all the music I like. Generally, if I stumble across an artist that isn't super popular, they've done a KEXP performance and its awesome.

[@philliprobertson1347]

@@steelparadox Yeah. For a long time people ask me, "What do you listen to?" "What are you favorite songs?" I couldn't answer because genuinely I didn't know what music I was passionate about. That changed with Purity Ring.
