Purity Ring performing "Obedear" Live on KCRW

Purity Ring are purveyors of charming electro-pop. The Canadian duo released a confident, critically-acclaimed sophomore album earlier this year. We hear the new iteration of a trusted sound live on Morning Becomes Eclectic. Watch / Listen to the full session here: www.kcrw.com/music/shows/morni...

[@cole2839]

Wow she is good live.

[@mandeeprandhawa2878]

Came from search party here 👋🏼 in love with this music and voice!!

[@squints7116]

You should get tickets! They’re touring their new album WOMB. My sisters and I have been fans for 8 years and will finally see them live in Chicago

[@cricketamory3000]

Search Party is fucking fantastic

[@4no3bo3dy]

This could have been a performance at one of Elliot's events, and would have been totally in-character w/ the rest of the show.

[@shahbazsheikh3545]

Search Party! What a great show and what a great song.

[@Papillotte_Subatomique]

omg pure performance, they sounds deeper and more witchy than the studio version

[@deuxfleuves]

Wonderful song, conveying a complex emotional landscape. One of my favourites!

[@aprillove2652]

we love the light percussion sculptures. well done!

[@nyrbsamoht]

i mean he has to look like his actually doing somthing right! would be boring if he was just standing there - pretending to use those cool looking lights as triggers is nice idea.

[@iDrunkRS]

@@nyrbsamoht he's not pretending.

[@iDrunkRS]

@@nyrbsamoht 2:40-2:50 for proof

[@nyrbsamoht]

@@iDrunkRS 2:48 - on those last few hits - you can clearly hear those same hits but he is not playing with his sticks and lights. the pre programmed loop is taking care of the rest. lets be real! its 2021 and they are playing live. so its obviously going to be prerecorded. at least she is singing!

[@startstatic]

@@nyrbsamoht yeah fax, thought the same thing, there's no need to rig up the fixtures. Half if the performance had pre-recorded elements, this was just another part of it. Still sounded great.

[@toddpreisler8963]

coming from a fellow weened on Depeche mode and New Order in the 80s, this band is truly phenomenal...I'm obsessed

[@albaroux]

todd preisler I totally know what you mean! This song reminds me so much of early DM!

[@toddpreisler8963]

Alliester Devahsq no one has this sound...it just entrances and motivates...

[@SidonieMoon]

todd preisler Same!!! I love DM, Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Psyche, Purity Ring - and so many alternative greats out there.

[@cailinanne]

Yep, they slipped right into my go to bat list the moment I first heard them. ❤

[@arizonamorgan8126]

This is one of my favorite bands! Seeing them live was amazing!

[@chrisg9101]

There sound her voice is so pure,addicting ,art

[@cailinanne]

I will forever cherish seeing this set at the rialto in Tucson Arizona. The show was incredible. The light show along… omg, but you can hear how rich she sounds live and see how special his instrument is ❤

[@geraldnapshireii8734]

wow they are so good live I think she's from the future

[@patw9175]

when this started I could never have guessed what those big diamond shaped things would be

[@jessicacorcoran8849]

Lmao SAME. lol

[@alessina9665]

Awesome. I love Search Party and this Song

[@ssmolen42]

What an amazing version of an already awesome song. I wish that this track on their album repeated the vocals at 2:50, like they did here...

[@chegadesuade]

One of the coolest performances I've ever seen. It's a tragedy this has any less than a billion views.

[@andreitarkovsky3214]

you know I've read similar comments to various videos on youtube on indie music videos / live and man its annoying

[@ish233]

Hahahahah, that set up is really cool. How can you not love those electro drums! Good times ya'll. And the Gold microphone piece! You should probably wear a gold chain too.

[@dreamingstate1592]

ish233 the set up is sick!

[@indramitrakahali3178]

What a pure voice and music! 💞

[@EvilSnips]

At 2:50 I was dissapointed that she wasn't going to hit the high notes but then she did and the next verse was just BEAUTIFUL.

[@rhystheodore4903]

I have friends who are into everything from jazz to rap to black metal and everything in between... If I have Purity Ring on as background music, not a single person has failed to interupt what we are doing and and ask "who is this?".. Sometimes that is all they say... But it always tells me they ''got' it... Universally impressive. 😊

[@FDG0327]

This is a stellar live recording. I almost like it better than the studio one, especially with those echo vocals during the first chorus.

[@matthewearl9824]

Live recording? It is all prerecorded besides her main vocals.

[@michaelmunday6808]

He’s literally playing the percussion parts and setting the beat sequences and she’s singing so yeah live recording

[@christopherknight181]

Your ability to spin and keep the integrity of the original song is amazing.. just a touch.

[@betoski]

I think of this song when i think of Purity Ring :D

[@RoseBreath01]

beatiful Song Beatiful Vocal Female

[@sugarlandspringsteen]

+Rose Raven I think you look beatiful Rose from what I can tell from your picture.

[@amyparks8251]

I wish I could like this more than once

[@mj521]

Megan the goddess of my dreamy world.

[@stevemurch3245]

gem of a band that everyone should know... come back to Seattle please!

[@mvvs35]

I love this song !!!

[@rudebwoy012]

Wow, the producer is doing so much work right there

[@ericmcgarrh7551]

+Joe851 but also the producer.

[@sacr3dseeker]

bruh, imagine him missing a beat, it's not that easy

[@NonsensGaming]

not the cleanest performance but it aint easy

[@philiproseel3506]

Saw them live at The Beauty Shop (or something like that) downtown Vegas 10 years ago. Got to meet Corin and Megan after the show, they’re both down-to-earth people. Great show.

[@youme1614]

Elf girl is good! Thumbs up! Great job hipsters.

[@brit-ta-ni]

Search Party brought you here too? Yes. This is a slight jam!

[@children-of-Lir]

My dog knows every one of they're songs by name .... and yes Megan and Corrin are exceptional live I would love to see these LEGENDS live .. ... both are simply beautiful geniuses.. love y'all Bruno loves y'all too ..

[@Bielchibimoon]

ISSO É MUITO BOM

[@austinsillman14]

I want my ringtone to be this!!!!!!!!!---

[@AlexReyes-ni3fg]

She looks like something from Harry Potter

[@SeveralWade]

lol so true

[@CHEEKY_MONKEY]

+Alex Reyes And her hair reminds me of that hazelnut from Ice Age. Cute :)

[@killerguitarguy]

+Alex Reyes I was thinking more star wars.

[@escapeartist1258]

Megan

[@mintiana]

What Midi controlelr is that?/launchpad? does anyone know? I have a live show coming up to perform, and want something new

[@KiingCong]

Some good skydiving music

[@MrAlbertLeee]

Is the sound actually triggered by Corin hitting the lights?

[@UIMcocodog]

Fireworks yeah, i dont know about these ones but the last version of em you see in their older videos are just a mic and a light bulb inside a cage covered with cloth. theres a couple of old vids around where he talks about trying to commission the hardware design but they couldn't afford it so he built the hardware and software himself...

[@AClockworkJulian]

cocodog13 Its pretty easy to do. I managed to achieve something similar by taking apart an xbox guitar pro drum kit, it had the sensor and the midi conversion all already there. If you couple that onto of pressure sensitive diodes for the lights, you're winning.

[@Ayelis]

touchtech.io/Purity-Ring-Gems-New-Instruments shows how they're put together...

[@fuckindegenerate9337]

thought its a pressure triggered device playing static sound which is programmed by computer

[@tylersilverman]

anyone know what that control he is using underneath the MIDI fighter

[@troybratcher8716]

Wait.. Did Neil Peart come back to life in my interpreted dream

[@Lostenso]

i feel like this latest album could easily be a Stranger things soundtrack.

[@bellamexicanlastname5741]

CongoBonga trueee

[@amberpetrovich7437]

This is far too stellar and avante-garde for Stranger Things drivel and music.

[@codyday5760]

lostenso the latest album suuucks dude its all dubstep bullshit they actually had something cool on the first album now its all drops and shit.

[@diogo3535]

*And some "Shrines" songs, Belispeak, Obedear and Grandloves*

[@lightbox8019]

Cody Day what album were you listening to?

[@redazril]

Anyone shed any light on the sameple trigger he was using?

[@TheCurious325]

Anyone knows wich app does he use on the ipad?

[@codyday5760]

[@kirdot2011]

What the hell are those futuristic drums from 2039

[@OddChap]

whose seen them live?

[@queniffr278]

+Gare Du Odd Saw them a couple months ago. They own live.

[@tatiana32922]

you should go. best 2 hours ever. definitely worth it, and they were on the side of the building meeting fans for free.

[@codyday5760]

Odd Chap i have but i dont remember it cuz drugs

[@joed8612]

Seen them live 5 times now :D

[@Cc-gb3rf]

Does anybody know what the lyrics actually are when it sounds like "God is a blond"?

[@ThatweirdkidDom]

they kind of have a Niki and the Dove vibe to me.

[@andresaquinom]

veronica jaramillo, ¿cómo ves? Me pareció interesante..

[@nemesisbreakz]

Your art is so beautiful. I want to join your braid with my beard

[@lesliebittersmann807]

I came down over the sleeping mountains Where our white tones plunged Into the weeping shelter Tear our skin up out from the bottom Leaves our ankles bare Don't just wander back and forth and leave it Build it into Pinnacles and shrines Of some, Some ghastly predicament in mind You'll find Leaves us plastered to a bed of hairs We'll be all coiled up near the bottom With my chest, unbare it Obedear, the sky is low Gather up its harm and gods With grateful arms Obedear, the sky is low Gather up its harm and gods With grateful arms Obedear, the sky is low Watch fluids seem and rid their rudders Oh, they'll Grace it with their wind arrows 'Tis in the feathers that, that They branch below, low Oh my dreams, Come back to me, back to me Back to... All my wrinkles, Build on me, build on me Build on... Obedear, the sky is low Gather up its harm and gods With grateful arms Obedear, the sky is low Gather up its harm and gods With grateful arms

[@jvlixn]

Corin is such a babe. unf

[@taylorswifamish1997]

there's a yellow teletubby in her.

[@joerivera5482]

Not bad for a live setting..

[@taylorswifamish1997]

it announced itself as lala in repetition.

[@LucasSerraOficial]

Música da Leticia bufoni

[@analeticiadamata960]

😋

[@martinmackenzie5127]

Honestly? Myself.

[@SirKnasher]

Love her voice but the dude really needs to work with a metronome, he's pretty sloppy especially for a fairly simple beat

[@EvilSnips]

I think it's supposed to be slightly off beat, not totally sure though. Good producer tho in the studio.

[@farshadh6363]

I think it's meant to be that way. If you listen to the studio version, it sounds carbon copy to the way this one flows. At least that's how I heard it

[@Hearseman75]

Love the band until you realize her lyrics are nonsense by a crazy person.

[@jonathanparker1927]

Yeah I have no clue wtf she is talking about. Good tunes though...

[@osvvaldo5687]

It’s all the LSD & shrooms

[@danopticon]

Hey,, all the best lyrics/poetry are: try figuring our Arthur Rimbaud or Kurt Cobain sometime.

[@jtuttah]

Taste is very subjective. Personally, I really enjoy songs that don't make much sense, cuz much of life/reality is just so inexplicable.

[@niellalien]

They make no sense but they're well written and poetic so it works. I love lyrics like that. I see the lyrics as creating more of a mood, an atmosphere, and it's all up to personal interpretation.

[@matthewearl9824]

Well I mean it is pretty boring as the guy who creates the song to just play a backing track. He has to do something on stage. I heard he was a percussionist and I would rather see him play Roland Vdrums instead of pushing buttons

[@kkal1183]

One of the most underwhelming performances we've ever seen. Music can be so emotional, but these two lack even basic emotion, so much as to make their performance fall flat on their faces.

[@zyzzyz7035]

Cool song but these two are very boring.

[@zachdraper1653]

This lame.
