Materia

Recorded 2019–2026Released 2027

This record is perhaps the quintessential ‘Ritual’ record. It’s where I wanted to go at the time and I found it very fun to write. It took a long time to finish as my life changed a lot over the course of the development (moving, kids, work) and I chipped away at it as and when I could. A big chunk of the material (get it?!) was my input into an old band of mine. The whole record was recorded at home except for vocals. Although I feel rather detached from the music after 1000 hours of listening, retracking and demoing for 8 years, it still has moments I enjoy. Influenced heavily by King Crimson’s Discipline.
