The debut single from multi instrumentalist Daniel Crichton is a slice of warm DIY indie pop. Stepping into the spotlight for the first time as a solo artist, the entire single was recorded in lockdown on his phone (it's a decent phone). 

An honest and ambitious first offering, at 2:43 the track is a bite-sized insight into an artist discovering their voice.

Lyrics:
And it would seem that your sentences have become a jumbled mess,
And what it is that you meant to say has been usurped by predictive text,

But you don't have to reach for the delete button,
You're not an error,
Maybe you're not all that broken

What you see seems like fantasy,
slight of hand to deceive your eyes,
Your sullen head glitching back and forth until normality returns again,

But you don't have to reach for the delete button,
You're not an error,
Maybe you're not all that broken

Released: Friday 5th March 2021

Emergency Song

From the upcoming 'PCPQ EP'

We wander
We wander

Wait wait
What if we bumped into someone we did not know had the key
Wait wait
What if we knew the clue somehow worked out in these sleepless nights

We know we know where it's buried where it's buried
Dirt under your nails
We wander
We wander

Wait wait
What if we bumped into someone we did not know had the key
Wait wait
What if we knew the clue somehow worked out in these sleepless nights

Wait wait
What if we knew the clue somehow worked out in these sleepless nights

Wait Wait Dig

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.
