Mar 18, 2020 By Christopher Roberts Photography by Carson Davis Brown Purity Ring

Canadian electro-pop duo Purity Ring (Megan James and Corin Roddick) are releasing their first new album in five years, WOMB, on April 3 via 4AD. Now they have shared two more songs from it, “peacefall” and “pink lightning.” “Peacefall” comes accompanied by a lyrics video in which James chain stitches the lyrics of the song. The “pink lightning” visual features images from an accompanying video game. Listen to both songs below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Previously Purity Ring shared WOMB’s first single, album closer “stardew.”

WOMB is Purity Ring’s third album, the follow-up to 2015’s Another Eternity and 2012’s Shrines. In 2017 they shared the standalone single, “Asido,” which is not featured on the new album. James and Roddick wrote, recorded, produced, and mixed WOMB themselves.
