Purity Ring - Womb

Womb is the third studio album by Canadian electronic pop duo Purity Ring, released in April 2020 via 4AD.

Purity Ring is a Canadian electronic pop band which formed in 20101 from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The band consists of vocalist Megan James and multi-instrumentalist/producer Corin Roddick. They released their debut studio album Shrines (2012) to critical acclaim, followed by their second studio album Another Eternity (2015).

After more than five years, Purity Ring return release their third studio album Womb, produced and recorded by the duo of Megan James and Corin Roddick.

Womb chronicles a quest for comfort, the search for a resting place in a world where so much is beyond our control. The striking vulnerability of “Rubyinsides” (with the lines “If I could, I would let you see through me”) charts a course that’s both intensely personal and deeply connected to those close to us, our kin whether by nature or nurture.

As the ground shifts beneath their feet, Womb’s characters help one another face death, despair and world-altering discovery with resilience and grace. For all the terrain it encompasses, Womb’s quest culminates in “Stardew”, a glittering, transcendent invitation to “just be where you are”; to experience the kind of powerful peace that can only be found by truly coming home.

This album is a limited edition indies exclusive on red coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve, pressed in Europe via 4AD.
