After more than five years, Purity Ring returned with their third album, WOMB, released on April 3, 2020 via 4AD. WOMB was entirely 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' - “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.

WOMB follows Purity Ring’s 2012 internationally-acclaimed and highly influential debut Shrines and 2015’s another eternity. On another eternity, The New York Times praised the songs as “only a few steps removed from radio hits by singers like Ariana Grande and Ellie Goulding” while Rolling Stone called them “lustrous synth pop plus cavernous hip hop” and The New Yorker lauded the duo for “creat[ing] electro-pop that is as warm and human as it is cold and alien, an intoxicating combination that feels boldly futuristic.”

ekkstacy is an 18 year old artist from Vancouver, Canada. He always wanted to be an artist, but he felt like that was something he couldn’t do because he didn’t have the confidence. However, after going through drug-induced psychosis, his parents' divorce, and alcohol abuse he found himself writing and recording music every day. He took influence from film, and artists including Elliott Smith, The Drums, Bon Iver, and Bedroom. Right now, ekkstacy describes his current sound as a fuse of indie, post-punk, and synth wave.
