Their 2012 debut, <i>Shrines<\/i>, was a shining combination of some of the most ear-luring production and synth-pop songwriting of the first half of the 2010s. Before too long they were flying full-throttle at major music festivals and getting some feature time with new alt-rap overlord Danny Brown on his <i>Old<\/i> album. However, their follow-up, <i>Another Eternity<\/i> (4AD) may not reach the same level of acclaim, if only for not being as innovative.<\/p>\n<p>For <i>Another Eternity<\/i> vocalist Megan James and producer Corin Roddick were finally able to inhabit the same physical space to record, whereas they had to work on much of <i>Shrines<\/i> remotely. From the quick-shifting, start-stop tempos to the dense synth chord arrangements that have become a staple in outsider dance music, the album mines all of its predecessor\u2019s traits. The edge, albeit a blunt one, to <i>Another Eternity<\/i> is its drum tracks. Songs like \u201cStranger Than Earth\u201d and \u201cDust Hymn\u201d have beats so infectious that they nearly overshadow any melody James puts forth. There\u2019s an argument to be made that any Purity song showcases equal amounts of depth and hook, but clearly they\u2019ve tapped into something greater in beat-making\u2014a quality that an artist like the aforementioned Brown has already picked up on.<\/p>\n<p><i>Another Eternity<\/i> shouldn\u2019t be pinned as falling short of <i>Shrines\u2019<\/i> ingenuity. Everything that made Purity Ring a pressing listen in 2012 is contained herein too, but the 2015 effort reveals the sadly obvious: <i>Shrines<\/i> and <i>Another Eternity<\/i> could\u2019ve reversed their order of release and whichever came first would\u2019ve been the higher praised one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Purity Ring took no time in winning us over.
