We recently had the amazing opportunity to check out the new single, “Ritual” from Glasgow’s post-indie five-piece Flair. You can listen to “Ritual” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here

“Ritual “, is the second single to be taken from their upcoming second studio EP ‘For Lack of a Better Word’, which arrives July 10th 2026 via Revo Pro.

“Ritual”, from Flair has such a commanding presence that is firmly etched into the Soul of the song . We are completely hooked in the best possible way.

Ritual’ blends narratives of poverty, paranoia, and the roulette of drug consumption. With the haunting presence of drug-induced voices multiplying their dark message, Flair delivers a track that is as confrontational as it is immersive, as ever with the backdrop of Glasgow City as their muse. 

Discussing the track’s lyrical inspirations, vocalist and lyricist Tony Collum says “Ritual is a hate letter to addiction, and to the ritual of crack dependency. This track was originally our second ever single release. With high hopes as it really was our first attempt at deep, meaningful lyrics that portrayed who we are as a band. As the song has grown and developed, we felt strongly that we should match its growth with a fresh new recording and breathe new life into a song that gets our strongest crowd reaction. We felt Ritual demonstrated the darker, grittier side of our sound, and the perfect compliment to Nausea, reminding you that it’s always darkest before the dawn.”

Strap in and ready for the mesmerizing energy of “Ritual” , from Flair .
