‘Very atmospheric. Really impressive!" - Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 6
Ritual Cloak is Daniel Barnett, formerly of <a href="spotify:artist:0KRIs1wp40Pd8804KdQnXQ" data-name="Samoans">Samoans</a> & drummer/producer Andrew Sanders.
Both coming from predominantly rock backgrounds, the duo set out to explore new musical territory in the form of piano-led ambient soundscapes & minimal techno beats drawn from a mutual love of sci-fi, all resulting in their well-received self-titled debut in 2019.
In 2020 Ritual Cloak signed to Bubblewrap Collective Records, releasing the single, I Lawr Ymhlith Y Tywyllwch, that revisited and rebuilt the glacial sonic wizardry of their debut brick-by-brick, glitch-by-glitch.
2021 was Ritual Cloak's most ambitious year yet, releasing two full-length albums, Divine Invasions & A Human Being Is The Best Disguise, a reworking of the debut album, with new lyrics & vocals by writer & comedian <a href="spotify:artist:1hIjTzrpFgMRzpcPvlFejX" data-name="Autumn Juvenile">Autumn Juvenile</a>, followed by a cover of <a href="spotify:artist:4KWTAlx2RvbpseOGMEmROg" data-name="R.E.M.">R.E.M.</a>'s Orange Crush and the meditative collaboration Witaj w Domu with Polish photographer, <a href="spotify:artist:0W3OuKifjA16LXoSssLVNb" data-name="Michal Iwanowski">Michal Iwanowski</a>.
Ritual Cloak returned in the autumn of 2022 with the dramatically intimate single Shell, followed by the ambient-leaning new EP, Vanished in Transition in Early 2023.
