A much gratefully received email from Graeme and Bek of Soft Power records alerting us to the imminent arrival of the debuting Witching Waves album ‘fear of falling down’ on limited run wax early December. Adored around here the album is earmarked for closer inspection later this week, in the meantime here’s a sneak pre teaser of what you can expect in the guise of ‘better run’. Shimmered in the kind of Spector-esque wall of sound vibe and fuzz buzz bleaching so loved by those shade adorned types the Insect Guide and the Manhattan Love Suicides, there’s a carefree pop prowess coursing through the core of the Witching Waves that initially recalls the sugared bliss pop of Lush though which on closer inspection finds alignment with the more shadowy tonalities of the Haight Ashbury – essential listening in short.
