Today, trailblazing electronic pop duo Purity Ring released a lush, rock-tinged new single, “imanocean”. In "imanocean” Purity Ring takes a left turn into a new reverie where otherworldly anime scores and 90s rock effortlessly co-exist. Live drums, guitars, and holographic choirs collide in a track that resembles REM scoring Studio Ghibli. MJ relates a surreal and unpleasant conversation: ‘wake up wake up, you’ve been talking now for hours’. As she escapes into the chorus with carefree abandon, we feel the epiphany of seeing things as they are for the first time: ‘I wanna feel this for the rest of my life, I am an ocean where the tears fall from the sky…’ a place brimming with melancholy and hope.
“We had a really nice time playing songs on the beach and getting washed away. This song is a sweet current of fog drifting over the ocean, a wave away from all the things we’ve made, yet still thoroughly us. There is a place in us we wanted this song to fill and it took a few iterations before it fell to this one, but the satisfaction we get from it is reminiscent of the hazy memory of songs from our past. Off all the places we’ve seen the sun set, of all the times we felt ourselves getting carried away in the rush. A foggy dream of emotion that surrounds us in a gentle chaos of moving water, the euphoria and contentment of knowing we are the same thing. I’m just a body, holding water, making heat,” says MJ on the song.

Long known for their fusion of body horror imagery and ethereal electronics, the duo now shift their focus from the physical to the fantastical, crafting a concept album that serves as the soundtrack to an imagined RPG. Inspired by games like Nier Automata and Final Fantasy X, the record tells the story of two hapless characters — embodiments of mj and Corin — on a journey to build a kinder world amid the ruins of a broken one. But this is no escapist fantasy: it is the first step of forbidden dreaming, of imagining a place where the vulnerable are heeded, where grief is spoken aloud and held collectively, where family is a verb rather than a noun, where hope and home can bloom together.
Earlier this month, Purity Ring joined forces with the iconic Pabllo Vittar and Maffalda for “place of my own (maffalda remix),” a reimagining of their recently released trance anthem “place of my own.” Preceding “place of my own” as the first taste of the upcoming album was “many lives” & “part ii”, an adventurous double single that pushed into undiscovered sonic terrain for the band.

Purity Ring’s upcoming tour will deliver their immersive concert experience to stages across North America. Kicking off October 13 in Ventura, CA, the tour will stop in major markets including San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and more before concluding in Los Angeles on November 12. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased via Seated HERE.
Purity Ring released their first three albums on the legendary label 4AD, beginning with Shrines, which earned Pitchfork’s Best New Music honors and was shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize. Their breakout track “Fineshrine” is certified gold in the US, and “Grandloves” was sampled by Playboi Carti on his Die Lit track “Fell In Love”. In recent years, they remixed “Knife Prty” as the lead single for the 20th anniversary reissue of Deftones’ classic album White Pony and collaborated with industrial pop duo Black Dresses on the track “Shines”.
Since emerging in the early 2010s, Corin and mj have made a lasting impact on the electronic pop landscape, building a world all their own with immersive self-produced albums and designing groundbreaking visual live show experiences. Their next era of self-released music promises to step fully into a vision they’ve been circling for years - one that feels vast, unrestrained, and true to who they’ve become.
