10/08: RITUAL- NEW SINGLE & LAUNCH

NEW SINGLE- RITUAL

Tic Toc Tokyo release their new single, Ritual, this Saturday October 18th.

Marked by haunting vocals, abrasive tones and percussive rhythms, Ritual sees the band explore a more expansive sound as they develop the experimental aspects of their debut EP, Artefacts. Lead by an unified rhythm and taking on space as an integral element, the track is driven by tension before moving into an atmospheric interlude inhabited by dual overlapping vocals, textured guitars and melodica. Ritual was recorded by producer Nao Anzai at Head Gap Studios in Melbourne.

Ritual will be released as 4 track CD, available via MGM Distribution. Accompanying Ritual on the single is a remix of the track Colour of Place (which appeared on the Artefacts EP released earlier this year). Colour of Place- Oona's Nuclear Winter Mix is an atmospheric, experimental dub-influenced alternate version of the track, remixed by producer Casey Rice (AKA. Designer) at his Classix studio.

Rounding out the release are versions live versions of Traps and The River- two highlights of our live set and recorded especially for this release by Nao Anzai in the Pony bandroom, Melbourne.
