Rituals Of Mine

Hailing from Sacramento, Rituals of Mine is the immersive, hybrid R&B-electronic project of Terra Lopez. Formerly known as Sister Crayon, the project led by Lopez and musician Dani Fernandez changed their name to Rituals of Mine after the then-duo signed to Warner Bros. Records in 2016. After parting ways with Fernandez in the fall of 2017, Lopez reclaimed Rituals of Mine as a solo project. Now, Lopez as Rituals of Mine has released her first album as a solo act, HYPE NOSTALGIA on Carpark Records. With HYPE NOSTALGIA, Rituals of Mine was able to exhibit her genre defying sound by using styles from future R&B, electronic and pop layered with the softness of Lopez’s ethereal vocals. The result is a self-assured 13-track LP tackling what it’s like to be a woman of color in the music industry, exploring intergenerational trauma, and beyond. HYPE NOSTALGIA is an all-encompassing look at Lopez’s personal growth and resilience. With the addition of Lopez’s drummer Adam Pierce, Rituals of Mine’s live performances have become bolder and more bombastic. Rituals of Mine has continued to flourish within the indie community, sharing the stage with artists like DEFTONES, Built to Spill, Garbage and Tricky. Terra offers a glimpse into her own experience in the hopes that it will open the door for listeners to confront their own mental health challenges and serve as a touchstone as they find their own way to process and heal.
