Twin Ritual was founded by singer-keyboardist Laura Levenhagen (Le Chateau) and bassist Anthony Ramirez (Glass Spells), soon joined by guitarist Nathan Leutzinger (Astral Touch) and drummer Lionel Hernandez. Their early 2018 EP Hand Through the Mist, with its title single and "Angry," was produced by Dave Trumfio (OK Go, Jesus and the Mary Chain, Built to Spill).
By 2019, the lineup had evolved to feature Levenhagen and Ramirez now backed by guitarist Tony Estrada (Allweather) and drummer Mike Beuhl (L1ght Ra1l). They played the local Wonderfront music festival that November, as well as releasing two new singles, "Strangers" and "Norma Jean."
