Trends that Purity Ring continue with the release of this song:
- Seriously awesome song names. You’re looking at an elevation of the titling game.
- Dark, dark sounds
- Despite the near-gothic synths, extremely immediate songs that stick with you
- Drums that put some of the best dirty south hip-hop producers to shame
- Unexpected song releases
- Unexpectedly having that new song on repeat for, presumably, the next few days
- Mounting excitement for that 7/24 album release date (it’s going to be called “Shrines”)
- Lyrics that seem inscrutably personal
- Forcing me to briefly consider whether it’s ridiculous to like a band this much after just a handful of songs
- A 100% record on putting out great music
