Critic Consensus
Based on 81 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that Purity Ring is rated as a watchable live performer, with shows that lack distinction. Purity Ring concert reviews describe live shows and performances as euphoric, spellbinding, ethereal, compelling, infectious, seductive, and jubilant.
In 2011, when their tracks Ungirthed and Belispeak first made the rounds on music blogs before piquing the interest of tastemaker Pitchfork, they wisely dubbed themselves as ‘future pop’.
