Juno Award-winning Canadian progressive rock duo Crown Lands (Cody Bowles & Kevin Comeau) return with a special limited edition physical release entitled ‘Ritual I+II’. Marking the beginning of the band’s new relationship with InsideOutMusic/Sony Music, this instrumental/experimental release further builds the Crown Lands world that was cemented with their critically acclaimed album ‘Fearless’. As 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.”

‘Ritual I+II’ will be available as a Limited Edition 2LP in transp. orange vinyl, featuring the stunning artwork of artist Justyna Koziczak.

Release date: October 3, 2025
