Purity Ring is a side project from Corin Roddick, member of the fantastic electro-spazz dance group Gobble Gobble. Their first official track “Ungirthed” infuses the most enjoyable aspects of Gobble Gobble into a swelling ocean of fractured pop vocals and rumbling melodic bass lines.
The highlight of “Ungirthed” comes from the nearly indecipherable vocalist Megan James. Her effervescent voice offers a cryptic description of an unforgiving world crumbling around her; however, when that single crystalline pop chorus blooms around the 1:14 mark, the perseverance of the human spirit triumphs — rising above all of life’s hardships.
My only complaint is that “Ungirthed” is far too short… I guess that’s why we always have the repeat button.
