J-p3 it's almost impossible to summarize what it is that makes this album so otherworldly. the instrumentation pulls from every conceivable dimension while the vocals add ethereal melodies and visceral imagery that permeate each track without weighing it down. spanning celebratory anthems to the deepest introspection, this is a creative tour de force that sticks with you long after you pull yourself away from it. fans of Magdalena Bay will feel right at home here. Favorite track: imanocean.

tronsent A fresh new voice in a wilderness of mediocrity! The best female vocalists of our time: Sinead O'Connor, Dolores O'Riordan, Bjork,Kate Havnevik, Susanne Sundfør, Robyn, Karin Dreijer (The Knife/Fever Ray), Alison Goldfrapp, and Lykke Li, Astrid S, Mari Kattman, etc... and now this amazing beautiful voice! Takk! i love it!!! ♥️

relict 02:59
relict lyrics as far as i see the sun hiding is behind us come stand next to me and i will hold you still here o what kind of freedom lies in every golden hour there’s nothing to see but come the morning i’ll be fallen proud what hope is a seed i found you tending come spring in the streets where their footprints lead to mend us no word is unsaid nobody is coming to save us i’ll grieve for a year or more for what we’ve lost here what we’ve lost here the river runs clearer where i saw you last there saw you last there the stones call me nearer where i lie across them lie across them come walk toward the night and i will hold a light for hold a light for

many lives 03:01
many lives lyrics: i have your hands my precious my head strands where i’ve been weave words you said take out my eyes for lucky stones staring at you feel tremors through house of a dream walk into me dead in the morning shines the eve fire pouring out the blinking stones a blanket thrown you’re not alone you know i’ve lived many lives many lies many tides hang me high over the hills water cries broken by long as the road of dreams where i leave you blue as the veins we separate into not all was said for words leave a shadow leave me behind, within, between, below follow the sun a thread spun around me your word a breath i held it inside me run running through the places i won’t be stand next to me the river in memory it’s only age and all i’ve seen born of a cave I’m opening take out this heart in beating heat then rinse it in the river deep now as i watch you bow your head there is no other way you said still i shine from this watching eye facing toward what faces mine turn my shadow three times round in to the long night, blinking out like

place of my own lyrics: all i want is a place of my own some way to be alone come find me where the ocean’s gleaming off the sky come find me where sun is shining through your eyes come find me where the air is shifting these soft lines come find me where the cliffside calls, we’re out of time all i want is a place of my own some way to be alone no more goodbyes we’re out of time

red the sunrise :spoken: they say when we die we fall for the sky cannot have us, the garden calls for the constant touch of hands and knees sinking deeper and pleading, for in this soil lies our grief resting until in dark red sun rise it becomes the mirage to keep us alive a holler a wraith a vision of time in language of patience and hope we are tied a contortion of places seemingly kind tell me though, does the wind hold your peace or the strands of the earth from which mother drinks? the long winding river whose surface unmet trembles as we seek calling i am here i am left voices carry in silence void of air may they remain forever in secret tow the only place given when we have to go :unspoken: your heart is the sun that i fall that i follow east to west turning always away as you go til the water we are gathers in gravity find the earth waiting quiet for what we come to be fall and follow away as you go the sky’s no place for me further below you’ll be you’re returning turning now can you hear me hear me now so red so red the sunrise you’re returning turning now if we stay long enough they say we’ll liquefy in your place leave a pool of desire save your mind there’s a map in your bones of our home i’ll be there when the sky turns me down just behind soon i fear

memory ruins 02:59
memory ruins there’s a storm of violet haze from the sun and through the dim lit fires brewed between forgotten mountains the kind of place you go to when you’re gone where the sky is coming down your eyes roll back through all you meant to do if i could fall and lie inside you in the fluids of your mind i drowned too wave it away whatever you say i’m holding on if only i could have stayed nothing reaches nothing matters i know it hasn’t always been this way mochi: meow nothing reaches nothing matters i know it hasn’t always been this way when the sky is in a reverie there’ll be nothing left to prove in our place there lies a memory to be left in ruin

long night lyrics: hold your hands out to me touch a tender suffering hammering pulse fills an otherwise empty morning I go running running world's a curse get lost in roads are yawning stretch across me now i’ve been blacking out but i will come back changed you recall the soul I'll recall the body soft feet searching on a kind anger is lurking i’ve been blacking out but i will come back changed o the long night is a bruise upon me move upon me i was already lost it doesn’t answer to me nothing hear me warm defiant lonely shields to hold me hold me spoken perfectly my ringing ears play my dreams for omens replay searching hoping fevers oil me down then burn us out i’ve been blacking out but i will come back changed you recall the soul I'll recall the body soft feet searching on a kind anger is lurking i’ve been blacking out but i will come back changed o the long night is a bruise upon me move upon me i was already lost it doesn’t answer to me nothing hear me

imanocean 03:37
imanocean lyrics: wake up wake up you’ve been talking now for hours you still can’t say it to my face but i know you now for all i am i’ll never know what you can’t see i’m just a body holding water making heat here there is something in the air that never leaves a thing i make no one can touch all that i breathe i want to feel this for the rest of my life i am an ocean where the tears fall from the sky i want to stay here til the morning sunrise i am a shadow nothing left for me to hide slow down slow down you’ve been running out of breath so sure without me that you know how this will end no way to live - but the leaving behind the scent of trees the sound of blood my humming mind now as the wind comes and goes blowing through me i am here though yet again i’ve never been i want to feel this for the rest of my life i am an ocean where the tears fall from the sky i want to stay here til the morning sunrise i am a shadow nothing left for me to hide

between you and shadows grey as the sky falls over the meadow blue as the lake beneath you the wind blows cold as air between you and shadows how did you get here how did you not know come now my kin to the rivers that bend and weave through the land round my spine like a thread twisted up like your mind round my soft spitting image it's suddenly clear where you end and i begin if you would see me now you’d know what’s come to be no one remembers how i’m always trying to leave just leave me bleeding out i’m flowing toward the sea toward the place i’ve embodied you can’t say it out loud it’s on the tip of your tounge so we’ll stay here a while you and me just pretending as your eyes glaze o’er i’ll be searching inside for what i knew you to be it’s not like you knew me come to be trying to leave toward the sea i’ve embodied

broken well 02:46
broken well call me a glimmering mist a wasteland of blinking trysts a thing you fly over with blank wonder at my cold credence your cold hands are sweating now shredding the air slow to me down how well you can stomp a fire out what lingers will stoke my burning throat it’s only sadness it’s setting in with it’s softening screams like the home i make of it call me invisible a wraith of your future self granted you’ll make it so far you try not to think about your kind eyes are rolling now trying to divide broken from well ‘holden to dreams you call the past but i’m still the questions you can’t ask can’t but you have to we’re just passing through under blanket skies run my clear eyes

glacier :: in memory of rs :: a year a tree the wind this will never happen again a climb the fall so loud everything changes in the end what holds me here a memory the glacier moving moving down o what will be is yet to come erasure imminent and sound i wasn’t ready why couldn’t you have told me something all of our bodies all that is lost and all of our senses weighing in none of it’s been yours not from the moment not since their eyes beseeched our skin i wasn’t ready why couldn’t you have told me something something awe is for wondering silence for hiding all of us holding something in pain is ignored by all of the wishes all that you threw in the fountain words like a moment spoken to forget passing to be forgotten awe is for wondering silence for hiding all of us holding something in

about

Purity Ring’s self-titled fourth album marks the beginning of a bold new era, the duo have crafted a concept album that serves as the soundtrack to an imagined RPG. Inspired by games like Nier Automata and Final Fantasy X, the record tells the story of two hapless characters — embodiments of James and Roddick— on a journey to build a kinder world amid the ruins of a broken one. Roddick reaches into his deepest musical memories to sculpt euphoric, otherworldly soundscapes of vintage digital synths, classical guitar, pan flutes, breakbeats, and haunted vocoders. Along with her unmistakable sound, James has unlocked an arsenal of vocal deliveries and a joyous, dizzying stream of consciousness in her words. Here with their first self-titled and self-released LP, Purity Ring steps fully into a dream they've been circling for years—one that feels vast, unrestrained, and true to who they’ve become.
