Purity Ring Share “Better Off Alone” Visual
Purity Ring have shared their cover of Alice DJ’s 1999 Eurodance track “Better Off Alone.” The track arrives after the release of their full-length WOMB, now out via 4AD. The duo have flipped the euphoric trance classic into a signature, ghostly Purity Ring track. The song is paired with an intergalactic music video directed by Andrew Barchilon.
From Purity Ring:
“We have wanted to cover this song for years and it felt like it was time. It’s been an influence on how we write and feel music since the beginning, and so for all the ways that joy and longing move, the truth is out there.”
Purity Ring have also announced the rescheduling of their UK and European tour, now set for summer 2021 and including a huge headline show at the Camden Roundhouse on June 21st. The UK and European dates will be preceded by a 24-date spring North American tour. All tickets held for the band’s original 2020 shows will be honored at their rescheduled 2021 dates. The ten songs on WOMB are entirely written, recorded, produced and mixed by the duo, and the album chronicles a quest for comfort and the search for a resting place in a world where so much is beyond our control, truly making the album a tonic for the times we find ourselves in.
