Jon Hopkins featuring Purity Ring, “Breathe This Air”: Purity Ring’s Megan James sings on a new version of a track from ambient techno artist Jon Hopkins’s recently released album Immunity, and it’s refreshing to hear her angelic voice in a new context, as last year’s Shrines could have benefited from a little more diversity. Hopkins’s tour reaches the U.S. at the end of the month, where he’ll be joined by Purity Ring for two L.A. dates.
