A trippy new video has been released for Purity Ring’s song “sinew.” The song comes from the group’s latest full-length release Womb, which was announced in February 2020 and arrived later that spring. A similarly psychedelic video was released for the song “stardew” off the album.
The video is simultaneously astounding and incredibly eerie, with beautiful, creative graphics of strangely smiling animated creatures. Some shots include two humanoid faces and skeleton bodies that appear to be made of glitter and have gems for eyes, slowly moving. Another interwoven scene is a giant glitter head with tufty red hair and bulbous bug eyes alongside a purple shiny companion with a clear helmet, who is adorned in red clothing with red wings. The two slowly move atop a bicycle and cart in a non-CGI landscape.
The song itself is mellow and features clear, high-pitched vocals atop atmospheric synth. The song gains energy in the chorus, which says in part, “When the night falls and the light dawns off each other’s bodies now you see; when the land falls and the tide crawls off each other’s bodies you’re in me.”
The duo will kick off a tour on September 15 in Boulder, Colorado, which will stretch into December for a final show in Los Angeles.
