4 days after the recent reunion of THE LONG HAUL, the band’s singerย Harry Fanshawe pops up with his new post-punk project dubbedย MODERN RITUALS! Formed in August 2015, the band have just wrapped up theirย debut with Mark Jasper of Sound Savers (SLOWCOACHES / WITCHING WAVES)ย and Lewis Johns of the Ranch (CREEPER / MUNCIE GIRLS) and were so kind to unveil it for all of you lovers of thick riffed, dischordant, multi-layered indie post punk vibes. Despite its edgy immediacy and urgency,ย theย record’s nature seems to be uniquely compelling and calm. Withย the beautiful art work created byย Archie Fitzgerald, these guys haveย just tied a ribbon on a hell of a work. Contemplate it and listen for yourself.
