The Ritualists have today released their new album titled ‘Too Pure To Cure’. Rising from the ashes of the world that was, pre-pandemic, The Ritualists, to me, represent that new guard of the indie music scene. Taking each song and making it special. Individual. Nothing to fill the space, but everything to make room for more. A signature sound that makes everything a ‘future classic’.
‘Too Pure To Cure’ is something to behold. Think something mixed by Tim Palmer and approved by David Bowie. Not in sound, but in vision. Something that feels so right from that first note to the last beat. Each song stands on its own while taking you to the next. You could say this is a solid rock album or a memorable indie album. That all depends on you and your tastes. But what you can call it is original.
‘Too Pure To Cure’ proves that The Ritualists are a group of artists who know that the key to being a legendary band is to be a timeless brand.
About The Ritualists
Rising from the NYC underground scene of the Lower East Side, The Ritualists first attained international critical acclaim for their debut album, Painted People, released just before the pandemic on Out of Line Music. The record, particularly its lead single “Ice Flower,” was hailed as a seamless blend of dark beauty & anthemic pop sensibilities.
The follow-up effort, Baroque & Bleeding, produced by Brit-Pop icon, Ed Buller (Psychedelic Furs, White Lies, Pulp, Suede), has been described as “pure new romantic psychedelia,” by Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon, and continued the trend of critical adoration, along with regular airplay on SiriusXM. This momentum leads to multiple US tours and collaborations, performing with members of Blondie, Love & Rockets, D Generation, and The New York Dolls.
The Ritualists now seek to build on their brand of “Gothic Art Rock” (Hollywood Life) with an upcoming, full-length effort, Too Pure to Cure (out April 22 via Suite484Music) produced by GRAMMY-winner, Mario McNulty (David Bowie, Prince, Willow). The band, which has oftentimes been identified as proudly embracing the more ornate elements of rock-and-roll, has promised their latest effort will further test such boundaries.
