Perennialist pop unit Wreathes unleashes their epic debut single "The Reigns" b/w "Full Turn". This daring 7" is the triumph of Wisconsin duo Nathaniel Ritter and Troy Schafer, who started their dark music intimacy within a preceding band, the well-beloved Kinit Her, and have since been involved with a slew of other projects including Burial Hex, The World On Higher Downs, Rain Drinkers, Compass Hour, Circulation of Light, and The Second Family Band. For many years, people were captivated as Kinit Her progressed from flurries of primitive forest hymns to billowing gusts of advanced musical ceremony. Now Wreathes climbs to a higher level within this same architecture. In fact, this easily could be their most elegant and profound working to date. Wreathes continue to work with precious acoustic instruments, subtle electronic manipulations, and a deep spiritual longing to create their unique style of haunted folk music. Witness these dark masters harness their personal demons and exploit their supernatural earnings in a maelstrom of percussion, catchy guitar hooks, dreamy horn arrangements, and the commanding presence of their voices ever-locked in the soaring harmonies of arcanum. Wreathes is born!
