With President Biden determined to get the majority of American adults vaccinated by summer, bands are earnestly beginning to look forward to the return of live music. Purity Ring are the latest to announce 2021 tour dates, which they’ve shared alongside the video for their track “sinew”.
The song comes from WOMB, the synth-pop duo’s first album in five years that was released just before the pandemic struck. Directed by Toby Stretch, the clip brings back the abstract graphics and costumes that featured in the “stardew” music video, continuing the enigmatic story of the domed bicyclist and their sun-headed sidecar companion. Check out the “sinew” visuals ahead.
The clip is sure to get fans hyped for more of Purity Ring’s crystalline sounds, and the band hopes to share them in person again as early as September 15th. That’s the first date of their rescheduled tour, kicking off in Boulder, Colorado and stretching all the way to December 11th in Los Angeles. The trek was most recently set for an April stop, and the band noted in a social media message they hope this will be the last time the shows are pushed.
Previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new dates, even if the venue has been changed. However, if you’ve moved out of the area since originally buying tickets, Purity Ring suggests your best bet is to request a refund and purchase new ones for your current city or state.
