Purity Ring returns with two-part single, "many lives" and "pt ii"

"in a lot of ways, many lives + pt ii is the epicenter of things we’ve been working on recently. it’s like the sun we've been orbiting around for the past few years. it feels pitch black and impossible, but also has in it all the things we can make out of that. we're just really excited about making music at this point in our career and we felt a kind of vastness and possibility when making this," Purity Ring explains.

The accompanying music video, from creative director Mike Sunday, provides the first look inside Purity Ring’s imagined RPG soundtrack, inspired by games like NieR: Automata and Final Fantasy X. Lush imagery centers around two characters – embodiments of mj and Corin – who are about to embark on a journey.
