While Purity Ring took their time crafting Another Eternity, the rest of the world caught up to the magic they captured on Shrines, so you’ll have to forgive the record for sounding a little old hat. But Megan James and Corin Roddick still do their body-bending electronic/R&B melt the best. They are at their most mystifying during the quieter moments — like the closing one-two cosmic twinkle of “Sea Castle” and “Stillness In Woe” — but the more expansive jams hit hard, even if the blueprint is a bit familiar. And, in this case, familiarity isn’t a bad thing. –James
