Purity Ring Announce New Album 'Another Eternity,' Share New Track 'Begin Again' [LISTEN]

Canadian synthpop duo Purity Ring have announced the release of their highly anticipated sophomore album Another Eternity and have shared a new track from the album titled "Begin Again," which you can check out below. The album is set for release March 3 through 4AD and will be the duo's first album since their 2012 debut Shrines.

According to a press release, via Consequence of Sound, Another Eternity marks the first time Purity Ring members Megan James and Corin Roddick had recorded while in the same room, as Shrines was recorded in a long distance Postal Service-style between their respective homes in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Montreal, Quebec. The press release also describes Roddick's "percussive skills and sense of composition" as having been "refined and honed," resulting in an album that explores "gloomy valleys and gleaming peaks in equal measure."

The lyrics for "Begin Again" were shared via Purity Ring's Tumblr page, which you can check out here:

I've been watching your kindness keep
A lonely company
Look at the fire and think of me
I've been watching you creep
Around my wandering feet
Trying for years to flee

My moon o my moon
Not even into
Another eternity
Will you stop your lovely orbiting
I had held it a world away
Until my body 'gan to say

I need not one thing more
O wrap the ground around
Your gentle winding mind
O guard the pounding sound
Breathe in your fiery air
O wrap the ground around
Give back an hungrier stare
O guard the pounding sound

You be the moon I'll be the Earth
And when we burst
Start over o darling
Begin again

"Begin Again" is actually the second track from the album to be shared, following "Push Pull" from in early December. You can check out that track here.
