💿THE BLACK HAND 💿

‘TIME’ is the third single since the band’s 2019 debut offering, ‘Snakes’. Of the track, frontman Joe explains; “TIME is an attempt to capture my existential crisis while on lockdown, my life like many others was halted and thrown into some sort of anxiety-induced groundhog day where the weeks pass like days and slip through our fingers, where all we have to do in the present is to reflect on the past and ponder on the fragile new future”.

LYRICS

You’ve got an axe to grind
There’s a place in town that haunts me
It’s true, setting fire to it earned
a death before you warned me
Their grue trickles into the forest
(where) shallow is the whole stay

Pelican Pete
You’ve gone too far this time
Pelican Pete
You’re out of your mind

You’ve got grave defined
In the shadow of the arcade
It’s all we can offer you now
As a memory of the old way
Your blood barely filled up the bath
Now as shallow as the first day

Pelican Pete

SUPERMILK - Pelican Pete

Following on from the spacious, glacial electronica of previous single, Opaque Crater, 5 March 2021 sees Ritual Cloak release their latest track, White Noise. Written from the perspective of a close friend of the band before they passed away, and drawing on real-life conversations, the track marks the first introduction of lyrics and vocals (Daniel Barnett) into their sonic arsenal. Woven seamlessly into their traditionally synth-based approach, these new melodic textures work symbiotically with the track’s inherent, bittersweet gravity.

Amidst the darker weight of the subject matter and lyrics, White Noise also evokes an ever-burgeoning cocoon of light, offering some calm amidst the chaos. Initially built on the backdrop of arpeggiated synth strings and heart-wrenching vocal melodies, the track swells and evolves unexpectedly over its four minutes. This culminates in an almost triumphant progression of minimalist techno beats that boldly carves out the path forwards, only reaching its full power when each element is conjoined to the next.

The track was completed just a couple of days before the untimely death of their friend, Chris, who was its inspiration. Given he was such a big supporter of the band, it’s a massive shame he was never able to hear it. Naturally, it is dedicated to him.

White Noise will be released across digital platforms on March 5, 2021 with Divine Invasions following on 7 May, 2021.
