Alt-rockers Peace Ritual have really impressed me with their latest single “Seconds.” It builds on the sound they showcases on their 2022 self-titled debut and takes their music to new heights. I’m a fan.
“’Seconds’ evolved into a love song about timing and dealing with the unknown, and reminds us to slow down and breathe through the noise,” they explained. “We teamed up with James [Goodson, aka producer Dazy] to add a fresh twist to the song. We recorded it remotely, bringing in the idea of ‘time zones’ from the lyrics right into the making of the song. Self-recording played a crucial role, giving us the freedom to take our time and experiment with instrumentation, textures and sound design–and push through our own boundaries. We are also really excited to be cooking away on a larger body of work with James behind the scenes.”
I’m really excited to hear what else has come from Peace Ritual’s work with Dazy. Until then, I’m going to put “Seconds” on regular rotation.
