Our Take

Ah, MODERN RITUALS, the band with a name that sounds like a trendy hipster coffee shop - but don't let that fool you, their latest album "This Is The History" is anything but a generic latte in a paper cup.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you're transported to a world that's both familiar and foreign. The band effortlessly blends elements of post-punk, shoegaze, and indie rock to create a sound that's uniquely their own. Think Joy Division meets My Bloody Valentine at a house party hosted by Radiohead.

The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal line meticulously arranged to create a lush sonic landscape. It's like the musical equivalent of walking through a jungle made of synths and guitars - unexpected, but undeniably cool.

But what really sets MODERN RITUALS apart is their lyrics. They tackle weighty topics like love, loss, and existential dread with a wry sense of humour that's both relatable and poignant. It's like listening to a bunch of cool, charmingly cynical friends wax poetic about the absurdity of life over a few pints.

In the end, "This Is The History" is a triumph - a bold, boundary-pushing album that's as thought-provoking as it is catchy. MODERN RITUALS have truly crafted a modern masterpiece that's sure to be remembered for years to come. Cheers to that, mates.

About the artist

Modern Rituals

Modern Rituals are a four-piece band hailing from Brighton, UK, who have been making waves in the indie music scene with their unique blend of post-punk and shoegaze influences. Formed in 2018, the band quickly gained a following for their energetic live performances and infectious melodies. Lead singer Lucy's haunting vocals soar over shimmering guitar riffs, while the rhythm section provides a solid backbone that propels their songs forward. Their debut EP, "The Garden Party," was released to critical acclaim, with Pitchfork calling it "a stunning introduction to a band with immense potential." Tracks like "Sleepwalker" and "Cemetery Piss" showcase the band's ability to craft atmospheric, introspective music that still packs a punch. Modern Rituals have been compared to bands like Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, and Ride, but they have a sound all their own. Their music is both dreamy and intense, with layers of distorted guitars and ethereal synths creating a sound that is at once nostalgic and forward-thinking. With a growing fan base and a string of upcoming tour dates, Modern Rituals are poised to make a big impact on the music scene. Keep an eye on this band - they're one to watch.
