"Fineshrine" was one of the two singles that carried Shrines, the 2012 debut album from Canadian duo Purity Ring on 4AD, and like "Belispeak" it drew critical acclaim. Singer Megan James and producer Corin Roddick wrote it, produced it and mixed it themselves, with James Benjamin adding extra mixing, and they built the album the long-distance way, recording separately at home over several months and trading parts by email.
Critics praised Shrines for setting slick, hip-hop-inflected electropop against graphic, gory imagery about love and self-empowerment, and the album went on to a Polaris Music Prize nomination in 2013.
