Purity Ringis no stranger to The Collective Loop. They have been a part of the Playlist Collection many times. The new album Another Eternity was released as of March 3rd through 4AD label. This album doesn't let you down as sometimes a new album is compared to their first release, which was Shrines in 2012.
Another Eternity has the sounds of chill trap beats with the feel of electro that gave rise to a prevailing style in indie music.It's a different creative leap for the duo and I'm sure we will see other bands try the same, however Purity Ring came first. Purity Ring is stepping out of the ghostly shadows and embracing a somewhat more mainstream electro-pop sound. The songs are a lot more melodic and catchy this time around. Song like "Stranger Than Earth" and "Dust Hymn" will give you that chill trap electro feel, but don't be fooled the whole album will take you on a elcctro-pop journey of great sounds and catchy lyrics. Hats off to the Canadian duo's on their second album.
Tanlines has just announce the release of their new album "Highlights", which is due out on May 19th by True Panther. They have also been generous enough to share their first single "Slipping Away" for download. Check out the song below and download the new track here.
When you think about thumb drives over the years they have gotten bigger in storage size but have shrunk in size. So it makes you think? Why hasn't the external hard drive been made smaller for travel? Well it has, let me introduce the Seagate Seven Hard Drive($100). It doesn't refer to the capacity of the drive. Instead, it refers to the size. This is being revered as the thinnest 500GB portable hard drive in the world. It measures just 7mm thin, with a precision-crafted steel enclosure that highlights the look of the bare drive while offering protection for your data. It is powered by a USB 3.0 cable and weighs just over three ounces, it's a perfect way to lighten the load for those that travel while still giving you storage on hand.
