Pilerats Records: Rat Pack #2 teaser
We're back with another awesome compilation, can you guess who will be on it?. At the end of last year we launched our own label, Pilerats Records and to celebrate the formation of it we brought together some of our favourite artists together in one epic and free compilation. It was called Rat Pack #1 and it featured unheard tracks from Trippy Turtle, Ryan Hemsworth, Esta, Odesza and more! We later brought Ryan Hemsworth, Odesza and Esta down for Circo 2014 which went down a treat. Over this year we signed on Perth bass lord Sable, the aurally stunning Willow Beats, lo-fi jammers Hamjam and Phoenixesque Cabana. So after a killer year for Pilerats we thought why not do another compilation? And on that note we're happy to announce the arrival of Rat Pack #2. Well, not just yet. It's coming Monday 8 December but we've got a monolithic wordsearch for you to try and figure out all the artists before it's released. Can you find out who will be on there? Artwork by us. #Madeinthepile

New Music: Purity Ring - Push Pull
After nearly two years of silence Purity Ring return with a single titled Push Pull.. Purity Ring have released their first track, Push Pull, in nearly two years and it reflects a shift towards a more pop-orienated sonic direction in place of chopped vocals and twilight-infused synths. This decision to move away from chopped vocals could reflect a growing confidence in Megan James' voice and more elemental tracks in comparison to their instrumentally dense debut album Shrines. Purity Ring's sonic shift reflects a decision to push their creative boundaries as they have with the bouncing drums and the playful piano keys that appear in the track. But what remains the same is the dulcet toned voice of James as it soars over the track. Whether this piece is their first single on an upcoming release or a stand alone track we don't know but it's good to have them back. Click HERE to head to their website to see the lyrics and more.
