Best known as the powerhouse frontman for LA's favorite band-of-brothers, Mating Ritual, Ryan Ritual is stepping out with his debut solo album. Recorded in London with producer Chris Zane (Passion Pit, The Walkmen) his new record The Weight of Love continues a creative hot-streak that began with the first five Mating Ritual albums. With pristine production, anthemic choruses carried by Ryan's powerful vocals, insistent drums, and chiming guitars that recall the work of Johnny Marr, this record is sure to please fans of Mating Ritual and win over rock fans everywhere.
Vinyl Moon's love affair with Mating Ritual goes all the way back to Vol. 025: The Space Between and continues with so many pressings of their amazing albums. We're proud to present this latest installment from their extended universe.
LIMITED TO 100 COPIES WORLDWIDE
