I live in Hawaii and about two years ago I met the father of the vocalist and we started talking about music and he mentioned his daughters band and I typically don't just check out bands because random people tell me too but in this situation I did and ill be honest, I'm glad I did lol. It's awesome to see you guys getting some exposure. So if you guys see this comment, thank your vocalists awesome dad for promoting you guys while he was on vacation in Hawaii.

[@dwightschrute4560]

I'll always remember sitting in the cold crowd, drenched in rain and waiting what seemed like forever the first night of Pitchfork 2012 for this band to start playing. A band I never heard of but will never forget. It was worth the wait. It was euphoria in a needle that I will never stop mainlining.

[@theradiantdehd3997]

That’s a hell of a list. Royksopp is easily one of my favorite bands ever, Crystal Castles was but I have a hard time listening to them at times now due to the alleged abuse done to Alice. Daft Punk is classic, Phantogram I only recently found but am hooked on

So fucking underrated. The chords in this song give me CHILLS. So dark and layered and addictive. Ugh I can’t get enough. I need more!

[@johnmn3500]

This song gives me a feeling I haven't felt with any other music. It's like it perfectly clicks your dopamine receptors into action. ❤

Thirteen years later and I'm still listening to this. Always takes me back to long cut rides around the old uni. Such an excellent late night vibe.

[@teiagaw7663]

Yeah, if I only knew. I thought it was sexual and I guess in a way it is, but it's a cleanse right?

this song puts me into a heavenly trance that teleports me into the past where i was just so happy and content with life (2015-2016). i love this song with my entirety of my existence.

[@SaintMartins]

The best music videos are always the ones that make you think about them long after you've seen it. This Purity Ring video is very original, artsy and cool.

Lofticries also in a strange way reminds me of Acid Rain by Lorn.

This is probably my favorite song ever. Maybe to some people, it’s a strange choice. However it’s certainly the only song I’ve never gotten even a little tired of after listening to it for years. I’m not exactly sure what makes it so special, I just know it is.

[@kaylaruffini7406]

I’ve never had someone else feel the same way about this song, I’ve listened to it for years and it’s never gotten old. It ends up in my Spotify top 100 every single year without fail. I will never get over this song

[@tuttz666]

This song got me through the apathy of rehab long ago. 100% favourite

[@shavedparmesanprosciuttoan4317]

It’s my favorite song too. I can only explain it by addressing that my partner and I have been able to reconcile many differences when putting this song on after a fight we end up just listening quietly and holding hands. The lyrics, although they seem whimsical at first, are quite dark and mean a lot to me personally. I would imagine the lyrics mean different things to different people but I can’t help but find the melody and the words so meaningful. And I agree with you in that I never get tired of it.

[@voltage1235]

its a good choice , we are diferentes ! bravo

[@marciotenoriojr]

Ten years ago and now makes me feel the same thing. A trip through the mysticism, universe (physics and my universe). Hear this song makes me feel stop in the time, no more young or old, just alive.

[@1909Ghost]

i guess i'm just simple-minded, i never know what the fuck is going on in their music videos. i still like them though. very different and creative

[@benjaminkraft5309]

Yeah, well, they stretch analogies and metaphors extremely far, to the point where they could be talking about several different things in many of their songs. It's a very good strategy, using extremely visceral and emotionally charged lyrics that have multiple possible meanings, so that many more people can empathize with them or imagine these songs are what they wish.

[@benjaminkraft5309]

Actually this song seems pretty... well it seems to be about sex and murder, probably the first leading to the second, although I'm not sure exactly how... I think the "Lofticries" might actually be the screams of a victim for help...
