As a continuation of the mutual appreciation shared by electronic artist Jon Hopkins and dream pop group Purity Ring and on the heels of the announcement of back to back shows with each other in LA, Jon Hopkins has released a version of his song “Breathe This Air” featuring vocals from Purity Ring’s Megan James. The already impeccably rendered song becomes even more delicately airy with James’s treatment. Here’s something beautiful for your Friday.
