The follow-up to 2015's The L-Shaped Man, sees CEREMONY at the height of their creative output, as the always-evolving Rohnert Park quintet take various influences from post punk and rock to create one of the summer's most compelling and infectious records. It will arrive on August 23rd through Relapse Records. Pre-order your copy here.
The record is full of layered sonic fury and anxiety, each song building up to a point and then descending down through a militant, catchy hook.
In the Spirit World Now is a sort of nebulous and ectoplasmic place where things may not be quite what they seem,” says vocalist Ross Farrar. “It means sh*t is about to get weird.” The album marks a milestone for this Northern California punk outfit who have stayed true to themselves as songwriters throughout massive sonic growth throughout their storied career.
