Purity Ring have revealed two more songs from the duo of Megan James and Corin Roddick’s forthcoming third album, WOMB, which will be released on Friday 3 April via 4AD / Remote Control Records. Searching salve ‘peacefall’ is accompanied by a video featuring Megan chain-stitching the lyrics of the song and a crescendo of flames. ‘pink lightning’ begins with a haunting, pitch-shifted transmission before ascending to scintillation. The video for the track is a walkthrough of a ‘pink lightning’ video game, which they leaked to fans in advance of the official release. The pair of songs follow recent single ‘stardew’, which was praised as “a crystalline rush of adrenaline” by The FADER.
WOMB is Purity Ring’s first album in more than five years. The ten songs are entirely written, recorded, produced and mixed by the duo, and the album chronicles a quest for comfort and the search for a resting place in a world where so much is beyond our control.
