Juno Award-winning Canadian progressive rock duo Crown Lands (Cody Bowles & Kevin Comeau) return with a special limited edition transparent orange double vinyl, Ritual I&II.
An act of defiance against stagnation, the album marks the beginning of the band’s new relationship with InsideOut/Sony Music.
This experimental instrumental release further develops the Crown Lands soundscape that was cemented with their critically acclaimed album Fearless.

Cody explains: “Ritual was made during a tumultuous time in our lives. It served as a reprieve from the upending haze of the pandemic, far from the high-pressure studio sessions that typically accompanied the pursuit of our mainstream sound. And so, I suppose this record became our act of defiance against stagnation, in a time when so many familiar lights around us flickered out in the deafening silence. It was a glimmer in our darkness. We knew right from the onset this record was going to be out-there, with me playing an array of flutes while drumming polyrhythmic bliss over Kev’s undulating and expansive aural matrices of synthesis.”
