TVD Ticket Giveaway: Purity Ring at the 9:30 Club, 1/14 (Sold out!)

What’s better than future beats? Future beats with beautiful vocals that seem to float on top of the sub bass and hyped-out high hats with a certain sort of airy confidence that is most properly described as goddamn gorgeous.

The 2012 blow-up act Purity Ring has showcased an infectious sound this past year that the public just can’t seem to get enough of. They’re playing a SOLD OUT show at the 9:30 Club this upcoming Monday, and we’ve got a couple of tickets to give away for some very lucky fans.

2012 saw Purity Ring take over with their first full-length Shrines via indie-taste-maker king 4AD. The collection of songs is written in the key of fresh electronic music garnering heavy low end, trill snare rolls, and vocal samples a-plenty provided by beatmaker Corin Roddick. What sets Purity Ring apart from the rest of the pack is singer Megan James’ angelic voice and sing-along-esque melodies.

Their most recent effort is the video for “Lofticries.” Created by “Sixteen Saltines” director AG Rojas, the video is a showcase of their sound and relative presence.

So how would you be lucky enough to score some tickets to such an amazing show? It’s simple! In the comments below, tell us your favorite combination of hardened beats and delicate vocals. Since I’m a sucker for ’90s indie electronica (and the first three seasons of House), I’m going to have to go with Massive Attack’s “Teardrop (ft. Elizabeth Fraser).” The winner will be chosen at noon on Friday, January 11.
