Ritual Terrains by False Bliss

"Pre-eminent lo-fi post-punk/shoegaze masters"

– The Skinny

"A rich, rushing tapestry of interwoven sounds, lush melodies, sinister overtones and captivating dark-pop feelings."

– Keep It Fast

"One of my favourite pieces of music just now is 'Tamara de Lempicka' by Edinburgh's False Bliss"

– Edinburgh Music Lovers

"In terms of ambition and execution, this is a beast of an album. Glimpsing chaos at times, there is vision and real artistry here, making for an enthralling listen."

– Up and Coming Edinburgh

"Album of The Week"

– BBC Radio Rapal

"A heavyweight stomper of an album"

– The Fountain

"Multi-layered guitar rock with swathes of synthesizers, making for music that would be dreamy if it wasn’t quite so raucous. Album of The Week"

– Is This Music?

Ritual Terrains, is the new album from False Bliss, FKA DTHPDL and out through label Scottish Fiction.

The album is an exploration of identity and uncertainty, dealing with subjects of deforestation, multiple personality disorder, immigration, acceptance, supernatural folklore, art and technology. Musically, the album is a cohesive work of shoegaze and noise guitars, pulsing synths, dreamy vocals and driving rhythms, working as a continuous piece of music or as individual tracks.

Ritual Terrains will be available in cassette, digital download and limited-edition tapes through Scottish Fiction.

The limited tapes are a result of a special performance in March this year, where each member of the band added to the studio recordings with a live improvised set.
