New Single ‘Ritual Control’
Ritual Control was first demoed as Dr. Riff Has Arrived. I still wonder whether we were mistaken to have not kept the old title.
Otto originally presented the song skeleton to us with the concern that maybe the riffs were "too dumb". In fact, Tim and I responded, they are the *perfect quantity* of dumb. Sure, these riffs aren't going to earn a PhD. But they will hold down a full-time job, get the kids to school on time and read the occasional piece of challenging non-fiction on weekends. Courageous and heartfelt conversations like this are the core of what effective post-rock songwriting is all about.
New album out next month!
