A Ritual Sea formed in 2016 over a love of film, dream pop, shoegaze and all things esoteric. The four-piece, with members from Dublin and Paris, released their track 'Serpentine' as a free download in late 2016. They began playing live in the Spring of 2017, showcasing songs that resonate with ambiance and melody. Inspired by the films of Bergman, Tarkovsky, Jodorowsky and Altman, their songs draw on observations of the ritualistic dimensions of human relationships, and an infatuation with persona. The band are preparing to release a single and video later this Autumn, and are currently working on their debut album.
