Following on from their second album (Divine Invasions), collaborations with Welsh poet Autumn Juvenile and Polish Artist Michal Iwanowski, plus an R.E.M cover, electronic post-rock duo Ritual Cloak are back with a brand new single entitled, “Shell.”
The minute we heard this record we knew it was something special and we needed to share it with you. The atmosphere of this track is unique and the production is solid, creative and brought this track to a whole new level. With haunting melodies, calming instrumental and memorable vocals, “Shell” is an amazing experience from start to finish and one of the best tracks we’ve heard in months. This record will leave you stuck on constant repeat for days to come. Ritual Cloak has a distinctive style and their music is different and sets them apart from the crowd.
We think it’s safe to say that we’ll be following Ritual Cloak’s career from now on, but in the meantime, let’s keep “Shell” on constant repeat. Don’t forget to follow the duo online to stay up to date!
ABOUT THE DUO:
‘Very atmospheric. Really impressive!” – Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 6
Ritual Cloak is Daniel Barnett, formerly of Samoans & drummer/producer Andrew Sanders.
Both coming from predominantly rock backgrounds, the duo set out to explore new musical territory in the form of piano-led ambient soundscapes & minimal techno beats drawn from a mutual love of sci-fi, all resulting in their well-received self-titled debut in 2019.
In 2020 Ritual Cloak signed to Bubblewrap Collective Records, releasing the single, I Lawr Ymhlith Y Tywyllwch, that revisited and rebuilt the glacial sonic wizardry of their debut brick-by-brick, glitch-by-glitch.
2021 was Ritual Cloak’s most ambitious year yet, releasing two full-length albums, Divine Invasions & A Human Being Is The Best Disguise, a reworking of the debut album, with new lyrics & vocals by writer & comedian Autumn Juvenile, followed by a cover of R.E.M.‘s Orange Crush and the meditative collaboration Witaj w Domu with Polish photographer, Michal Iwanowski.
Now Ritual Cloak return with the dramatically intimate new single Shell that gives a taste of what to expect in 2023.
