    its strange, i heard lofticries around the time it came out and i’ve always loved and listened to that song on and off again but never actually looked more into purity ring. the same thing happened with begin again, i must have heard it on a playlist and was instantly hooked but those were the only two songs i knew... until womb came out, and i thought i’d FINALLY listen to all of their material and i am so so So in love. i really regret not listening to them sooner because for the past month since womb came out i literally have not listened to anything else. purity ring have instantly shot up to my list of top favourite artists

Ugh. Chills it was beautiful. Scary for all the artists performing but amazing to see each artist play into the elements down to Robert Smith as the closer!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

    They're just perfect live, it's impressive. I also find it super interesting how she goes from seemingly nervous, sort of uncomfortable when speaking to absolutely dominating the room 5 seconds into the song. Not sure if she's an introvert necessarily, but it goes to show how much you need to give people space for them to shine.

    Saw tonight in St Pete FL. Went for Lofticries from years back, didn’t know them but amazing show, her voice! Their sound is so deep and ethereal. Displays were out of this world too! Here I am late at night listening to even more of them
