PURITY RING: PLACE OF MY OWN TOUR presale codes

Purity Ring are a Canadian duo from Edmonton, with Megan James on voice and Corin Roddick on synths and drums. Their sound blends soft, eerie melodies with heavy, elastic low end, shaped by albums like Shrines, Another Eternity, and WOMB.

A duo with deep shadows

After a quieter spell between cycles, the pair have leaned into a leaner, moodier take that still hits hard live. Expect anchors like Fineshrine, Obedear, push pull, and stardew, with a few deep cuts floating in for longtime fans.

Likely songs and the room

Crowds skew mixed in age, with early adopters from the blog era standing next to new fans who found them through playlists, and the vibe stays intent and unhurried. Early on they wrote across cities by trading files, and James has designed stage pieces and outfits herself, while Roddick often builds beats from recorded household textures. All talk of songs and staging here is an informed guess that could change show to show.

The Purity Ring Night, Up Close

The room skews black layers, silver accents, and soft neon touches, with a few hand-sewn pieces that nod to the duo’s homemade streak. You will see platform sneakers, mesh tops, and pale makeup lines that catch the strobes.

Night-blooming style

Between songs, people trade quiet notes about production tricks, then sing full voice on the famous Fineshrine line when it hits. Claps fall on the backbeat during push pull, and small pockets bounce in place rather than rush the aisles.

Quiet rituals between drops

Merch leans toward rune-like fonts, moth and plant imagery from the Shrines era, and muted pastels that match the newer mood boards. Fans often share lyric interpretations and favorite live tweaks, like when a verse drops to just kick and voice. The space feels respectful and tuned to detail, with phones popping up for one or two favorite lines then slipping away. Many drift to the merch wall for screen-printed posters and swap thoughts on deep cuts like Ungirthed before heading into the night.

How Purity Ring Build the Sound

Megan James sings with a close, childlike tone that turns sharp at the edges, then sits in reverb so each word glows without blurring. Corin Roddick drives the set from pads and keys, locking a round kick under glassy synths so every phrase lands where your ribs feel it.

Voices in glass and smoke

Live, they often pull tempos back a notch and thicken the bass so the choruses bloom instead of burst. On Fineshrine, they like to stretch the intro with a flicker of arpeggios while James taps in chopped vocal bits before the beat arrives. Her mic chain adds a faint second voice for width, and a simple footswitch loop can stack a line into a small choir.

Beats that breathe

Roddick shifts arrangements by swapping bright leads for darker pads, or by tossing tom patterns under a chorus to make it surge without getting louder. Lights tend toward cool whites and soft strobes that mirror the pulse rather than overpower it. A neat touch many miss: he often tunes the kick to the song’s center note and rides the synth compressor to let the vocal inhale between drum hits.

Kindred Spirits for Purity Ring Fans

Fans of CHVRCHES often connect with Purity Ring because both balance bright hooks with lyrics that lean dark. Grimes lands nearby for listeners who like art-pop left turns and synthetic textures pushed to odd, pretty places.

Echoes across the scene

Phantogram share that shadowy beat-plus-voice core, and their shows dial up the low end in a way similar rooms enjoy. Sylvan Esso overlap on crisp vocal clarity and dance-minded minimalism, even if the moods diverge.

Why these line up

Across these acts, you get clean melodies set against murky bass, a focus on sharp songwriting over spectacle, and crowds that listen closely before they move. Festival-goers who drift between these artists usually chase that contrast of soft vocal light and drum-driven night.
