Crown Lands – Ritual I&II [ Transparent Light Blue 140g 2LP]

Juno Award-winning Canadian progressive rock duo Crown Lands (Cody Bowles & Kevin Comeau) return with a special limited edition physical release entitled Ritual I+II. Marking the beginning of the bands new relationship with InsideOutMusic/Sony Music, this instrumental/experimental release further builds the Crown Lands world that was cemented with their critically acclaimed album Fearless. As Cody explains: Ritual was made during a tumultuous time in our lives. It served as a reprieve from the upending haze of the pandemic, far from the high-pressure studio sessions that typically accompanied the pursuit of our mainstream sound. And so, I suppose this record became our act of defiance against stagnation, in a time when so many familiar lights around us flickered out in the deafening silence. It was a glimmer in our darkness. We knew right from the onset this record was going to be out-there, with me playing an array of flutes while drumming polyrhythmic bliss over Kevs undulating and expansive aural matrices of synthesis. Ritual I+II will be available as a Limited Edition 2LP in transp. light bleu vinyl, featuring the stunning artwork of artist Justyna Koziczak.
