‘In a lot of ways, ‘many lives’ + ‘pt ii’ is the epicenter of things we’ve been working on recently.” Purity Ring are kicking off an era with two new singles, “many lives” and “part ii.” Both songs are out now via the fellowship. “many lives” is an enchanting digital choral cut, built around explosive refrains of vocal layers before mj comes through with the lead melody. The drums take cues from breakbeat dance grooves, giving the song the feeling of the waning hours of a late night at the club.

Ethel Cain has shared “Nettles,” the first from her forthcoming sophomore album, Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You, set for release on August 8. The eight-minute song finds Cain slowly moving out of her gothic epics territory, embracing something closer to psych-Americana. The sound may change, but her ability to cook up nearly 10-minute bangers with ease remains the same. I’m all in on countrified Ethel.
