about
Initially, this vaporwave version of New Rituals was supposed to be a lo-fi take on the song, but it kept growing into its own beast.
I had been searching online for the synth Pink Floyd used for "On The Run" on the Dark Side of the Moon, and I found a VST version and kept building from there.
The song is layered heavily in synths, but I didn't want it to get too far away from the original, so I re-recorded a guitar with some extra effects to keep some of its original life.
Be on the lookout for more lo-fi, maybe vaporwave versions of songs in the future.

About New Rituals:
--------------------------
New Rituals is about shedding your skin and becoming a newer version of yourself.
Old rituals - habits, beliefs, baggage you carry around that don't serve you should be left in the past.
'New Rituals' came to me in a dream. I was walking through the desert outskirts of our city, and I came across a body bag. I was hesitant to open it, but I unzipped the bag anyway. I unzipped the bag, and the face that appeared inside was a younger version of myself.
I zipped the bag back up and dragged it through the desert with me. I found a place that felt right, set up a funeral pyre with anything I could find, and set it on fire.
I interpreted the dream as growth and change. Sometimes, it's unexpected, and it's not always pretty.

It's time to let the old die, let the new begin.
These rituals don't serve you, their time has come now.
Shed your skin and patch your scars.
Shatter and shed all that you knew.
Rip a scar open, stare long and hard.

Let it flow in a hundred waves, embrace the changes.
Those rituals don't serve, their time has come now.
Shed your skin and patch your scars.
Shatter and shed all that you knew.
Rip a scar open, kill the worm become the god.
Rip a scar open, kill the worm become the god.

The Dead Electrics are a beautifully dreadful buzz of electricity mixed with otherworldly synths. Their sound combines the poetic moodiness of the Doors mixed with a shadow of post-punk reminiscent of Interpol and a blend of early alternative.

Trailblazing psych duo White Hills return with another batch of bottom-heavy stoner-y anthems submerged in 200 tons of guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 17, 2022
A slow drip of Tropicália-infused psychedelia from New Orleans rock outfit Blue Basin: balmy one moment, aggressive the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 22, 2022
From one of the premiere labels of the Chinese underground, a fascinatingly confounding and surprisingly cohesive post-punk album that works in nearly every genre style. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 3, 2016
