Purity Ring have returned with a cover of Alice DJ's 1999 anthem "Better Off Alone".

The instantly recognisable '90s club classic has been reworked by Purity Ring, modernising the track with a trap-infused beat and more elegant electronics.

Purity Ring's cover of Alice DJ's track is also accompanied by a Andrew Barchilon-directed video.

The duo say of their cover, "We have wanted to cover this song for years and it felt like it was time. It’s been an influence on how we write and feel music since the beginning, and so for all the ways that joy and longing move, the truth is out there."

"Better Off Alone" is the first outing from Purity Ring since their WOMB album dropped in April.

Purity Ring's cover of Alice DJ's "Better Off Alone" is out now on 4AD. They're due to play London's Roundhouse on 12 June 2021. Find out more.
