"Double vinyl LP pressing. Other Lives, which includes Josh Onstott and Jonathon Mooney, remain focused on the search for audible clarity: their next expression, their next melody, their next rhythm. Rituals, the band's third and 2015 full-length album, is a pure encapsulation of the trio's relentless drive for precision. Ambient soundscapes (""New Fog"") buttress against prog-rock stomp (""2 Pyramids"") lending the album the experience of embarking on a choose-your-own-adventure novel. ""There's kind of a duality to this record,"" Tabish says, referencing ""Pattern"" - ""rhythmically kind of up-tempo, really fast-moving, marimbas, this new kind of new-wave orchestra sound"" - in opposition to the closing title track, a slow-building, piano-and-strings-anchored ballad Tabish wrote in the finals weeks of recording." Fair Weather, Pattern, Reconfiguration, Easy Way Out, Beat Primal, New Fog, 2 Pyramids, Need a Line, English Summer, Untitled, No Trouble, For the Last, It's Not Magic, Ritual
