There’s a new band on our radar, and whilst we don’t know much about them, they have already given us a hunger to find out more. Based in London, R I T U A L is a collaboration between an Irish born folk singer-songwriter, an underground hip hop producer [who\u2019s worked with the likes of Talib Kweli] and a multi-instrumentalist who\u2019s given his hand to dozens of the UK\u2019s most talented singers \u2013 but their exact identity remains unknown.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Today we premiere ‘Visions’ the second track from their debut EP.\u00a0In the words of\u00a0R I T U A L\u00a0themselves: “‘Visions’ documents the hazy realisation of the need for another. Tender and alluring, the song describes scenes of a new found intimacy….\u00a0From the songs opening line ‘Connect to me and evolve’ the dual female \/ male vocal explores the tension, ecstasy and craving of this new ‘habit’.”\u00a0Contributing to forthcoming material of some of the UK\u2019s most talked about new artists [Charlotte OC, Tenterhook etc] since the start of 2014, there is an undeniable buzz about R I T U A L and it’s for all the right reasons. Having released\u00a0their first taster track \u2018The Fall\u2019 a burning ballad of relationships drawing on subtle elements of rural folk, r\u2019n\u2019b and beating drums\u00a0previous to this, the introduction to their journey and their own sound well and truly began, leaving us with one question \u2013 who are\u00a0R I T U A L? All we be revealed. Soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
