The Witch Hunt #2 - Army Man

Facebook / wearewitchhunt.com

Leeds duo The Witch Hunt return with their most striking track yet "Army Man", the lead track from their debut EP release Little Book of Hate due on limited edition (of 300) 10" vinyl perfectly in time for Hallows' Eve.

It shows a massive progression from the duo's early singles, where "Creep" was stark and haunting, "Army Man" is all brooding, commanding intensity.

It captivates from the get-go with ominously dark beats and crunching riffs shrouding a veil of thick, atmospheric gloom around the track. The mood is complemented perfectly by Louisa Osborn's incredibly controlled vocals, soaring above with a dramatic, impenetrable wall of intent. All spine-tingly sinister and brilliance - you might want to pre-order the EP quick (which you can via Bandcamp).

Witch Hunt launch the release with a show at London's The Sebright Arms on October 28th - details.

Witch Hunt - New Music "Introducing"

Witch Hunt first came to my attention via multiple postings by Flying With Anna late last year and I've been waiting for the right time to post about them myself, the announcement of Crawl, the second single from the Leeds based duo (of Louisa Osborn & Chris Mulligan) is precisely that.

Compelling from the first listen "Crawl" is predominately stark, atmospheric guitar circles with equal parts shimmer and claustrophobia and Louisa's outstanding, rich lead vocals which backed in unison by Chris's foreboding harmonies combine to haunting yet strangely seductive effect. The nearest comparisons I can come up with is a melting pot of Creatures of Love, Bird and Curxes. Something like that, I don't like comparisons anyway so perhaps scratch that line!

Their first single is long sold out (boo) but "Crawl" is released via Dead Young Records on April 22nd and is limited to just 200 copies - order quickly from Bandcamp now.
