Effective period / Period of releases: 2021

Ritual Cloak is Daniel Barnett, formerly of Samoans & drummer/producer Andrew Sanders.​

Both coming from predominantly rock backgrounds, the duo set out to explore new musical territory in the form of piano-led ambient soundscapes & minimal techno beats drawn from a mutual love of sci-fi, all resulting in their self-titled debut in 2019.​

In 2020 Ritual Cloak signed to Bubblewrap Collective Records, releasing the single, I Lawr Ymhlith Y Tywyllwch, that revisited and rebuilt the glacial sonic wizardry of their debut brick-by-brick, glitch-by-glitch. ​

2021 was Ritual Cloak's most ambitious year yet, releasing two full-length albums, Divine Invasions & A Human Being Is The Best Disguise, a reworking of the debut album, with new lyrics & vocals by writer & comedian Autumn Juvenile, followed by a cover of R.E.M.'s Orange Crush and the meditative collaboration Witaj w Domu with Polish photographer, Michal Iwanowski. ​

Ritual Cloak returned in the autumn of 2022 with the single Shell, followed quickly with the more ambient-leaning 'Vanished in Transition' in 2023.
