Trailblazing electronic pop duo Purity Ring are heading out on tour this Spring supporting their recent self-titled album with stops in Toronto on May 11 at The Opera House and Vancouver on May 25 at The Hollywood Theatre. Full dates can be found below with tickets on sale here.
Purity Ring’s self-titled fourth album marks the beginning of a bold new chapter as the band’s most immersive release to date. 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.

purity ring is the most expansive the duo has ever sounded. Corin reaches into his deepest musical memories to sculpt euphoric, otherworldly soundscapes of vintage digital synths, classical guitar, pan flutes, breakbeats, and haunted vocoders. Along with her unmistakable presence, mj has unlocked a new arsenal of vocal deliveries and a joyous, dizzying stream of consciousness in her words. When a loved one became newly disabled, mj became a full-time caregiver, an experience that continues to expose the world's inadequacies and fuels her vision of a better one.
As always, the band’s visuals feel deeply seeded in the sound of the record. For this release, they’ve collaborated with fellow Canadian Mike Sunday to develop an imaginary place — one shaped by many of the same inspirations that influenced Corin’s production along with the narrative of mj’s poetry. Together with Sunday, they’ve crafted a sensory landscape that visually brings the album’s story to life. Purity Ring's new live show is also built on this surreal landscape, immersing fans in this world alongside them.

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.
