about

‘a human being is the best disguise’ is a reworking of Ritual Cloak’s debut release, with new lyrics and vocals by writer, comedian and spoken word performer Autumn Juvenile.

All lyrics are a mix of real-life lies, workplace gossip, online flirtations and (most unforgivably) pure imagination. They were written on stifling summer nights working in secure mental health units across Cardiff, in between rolling cigarettes for rapists.

This is music you can smugly share on your social media; working class fictions for middle class listeners.

"An Intriguing Collaboration" - Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales

"Moving" - Circuit Sweet

"Powerful" - Godisinthetvzine

Ritual Cloak recommends:

Inner Song
by Kelly Lee Owens

Kelly is way ahead of the pack. She is pushing musical boundaries with her ethereal techno and is such an authentic songwriter. Her voice takes us to another plain. Favourite track: Re-wild Ritual Cloak

The Work
by Gold Panda

I think Gold Panda is probably my favourite artist of the last 20 years. Derwin uses melody and rhythm in such a fresh way, infused with East Asian instrument samples. Favourite track: The Corner Ritual Cloak

Primitives
by Bayonne

I saw Bayonne supporting Sylvan Esso a few years ago and was instantly hooked. Roger has a great ear for uplifting melodies and brings a Steve Reich approach to his rhythms. Favourite track: Omar Ritual Cloak
