One of the great things about these Witch House/Grave Wave bands for me is that they can go from the fog of chaotic echoing synth graveyards to doomy dancefloors all in one track. There is a real pre-occupation with sloooooowed down 90s dance tracks and that makes me hilariously happy.
ℑ⊇≥◊≤⊆ℜ is superb at this, a "member of the Mater Suspiria Vision Cult" the tunes that come from this band are awesome, take for example the remix of 'No Limit' by 2 Unlimited that takes it into a apocalyptic world of unending drum echoes and a k.hole bass voice vocals! You can get that track for free from the myspace or follow the direct link here:
Below is the Zombie Rave 2 Mixtape that was put together a few weeks ago, it hopefully gives a bit off an insight into the ideas and feel behind this genres direction. It was part of a limited edition download and was downloaded out in only a few hours!!
Also this is the video to accompany part of the above mixtape, a remix of Send Me An Angel by 80s Australian band Real Life. The video is made by chief Witch House visualiser Cosmotropia de Xam.

Do not believe in everything you see - the owls are not what they seem.
incite = insight. unless that's a Witch House related typo! Cool stuff, as per Mr Wolfe. How was Washed Out?!
ReplyDeletethanks I changed that!
ReplyDeleteWashed Out were good once Small Black joined him onstage and it wasnt just him behind a bunch of turntables and peddles. The limiter cut out early on though which made the whole gig go a bit subdued!
