John Dwyer, Heather Lockie, Tomas Dolas, Kyp Malone, Andreas Renteria, Brad Caulkins, Archie Carey – Ritual/Habit/Ceremony LP

For fans of Steve Roach, Eno, Syrinx, Howard Shore, Current 93, Terry Riley, Tangerine Dream and a proper sage scrub.

“An experiment in symphonic improvisation paired with synthesizer-scapes. Strings, reeds, synths and hand percussion all blend sweetly into an odd landscape indeed. The final touch was to bring aboard some singers I have loved over the years. I’m so pleased they were all willing to participate and I’m very tickled by the plane we navigate. Once YoshimiO agreed to be on board I knew we were going to be OK. Recorded and mixed at my home studio (Stu-Stu-Studio in Los Angeles) and remotely, this one was a slow burn to see the light of day. And here it is in its final crystal form. Celebrating the spaces between ritual, habit and ceremony. And all the parallels between. The line is blurred. This is occult adjacent strain of sound. At home in daily ritual, contemplation and meditation.” —John Dwyer

Band led by OSEES frontman, comprised of synths, strings, and reeds, and featuring numerous guest vocalists, including YoshimiO (Boredoms, OOIOO), AZITA, and Kyp Malone (TV On The Radio)
