About PURITY RING
Purity Ring is the electronic project of Megan James and Corin Roddick, formed in 2010 in Montreal. They built a reputation with their debut album Shrines, which paired ethereal, processed vocals with intricate synth arrangements that felt both delicate and unsettling. James's voice—often heavily layered and treated—became the project's signature, floating over hypnotic beats and shimmering production that drew comparisons to Grimes and FKA twigs. Their follow-up Another Eternity pushed toward pop accessibility while keeping the experimental edge intact. Purity Ring doesn't really fit neatly anywhere, which is kind of the point. Their sound sits in the space between ambient music and pop structure, where nothing feels quite warm but nothing's cold either. It's the kind of music that sounds better the more you pay attention.
Their shows are precise and hypnotic rather than explosive. The crowd stands relatively still, almost meditative, watching dense visual projections while James delivers those processed vocals with palpable control. It's less about collective euphoria and more about sustained atmosphere. People seem transfixed.
Known for Fineshrine, Obedience, Crawl Spaces, Begin Again, Atoll

Live Music in Sacramento
Sacramento's electronic music community tends toward hip-hop and underground production, but there's a quiet pocket of synth-forward acts finding an audience here. Purity Ring's precise, atmospheric pop should resonate with the city's more experimental listeners—people who follow left-field electronic artists and appreciate production detail over flash.
