After completing three albums in as many years, How You GonnaStop It? (2017) Light Myself On Fire (2018) and Hot Content (2019), the brothers are again ahead of schedule with a completed fourth album, The Bungalow (August 21st, 2020), locked and loaded.
Loosely inspired by their east Los Angeles home, The Bungalow adds elements of Bossa Nova and Disco to the brothers already lush set of influences. Finished on the day before mandatory quarantine started in Los Angeles, the album isnât so much a reflection of the current state of the world, itâs a tongue-in-cheek look at the world they thought they were living in.
The three albums have garnered a combined 45+ million streams and widespread praise from the likes of Stereogum, Consequence of Sound, Billboard, Zane Lowe, Buzzbands and more. All of which helped set the stage for Mating Ritualâs first headline North American tour (Fall, 2019), where they sold out shows and filled every room along the way. www.matingritualsounds.com
