Shadow Witch – ‘Under The Shadow Of A Witch’ (Argonauta)

Posted by | Feb 12, 2020 | ,

This third release from Shadow Witch is Astrocreep’s introduction to them, so before his first listen, he had a quick blast through their previous two to get a feel for them in advance and he immediately get a good feeling for what his ears are about to be pummelled by.

Yes, you: stand up and make sure you’re ready to catch this collection of toons better than an England outfielder can grab a little red ball, ‘cos you’re gonna wanna make sure you grab this and fire it straight into your CD deck (OK, we know they hadn’t been invented back then, but, hey, times have moved on, even if your haircut hasn’t).

After missing a chance to see Wheel at Damnation festival in Leeds last year, they’ve been on Jase Walker’s “to catch” list for a few months now. Tonight’s leg of the tour brings them to one of Manchester’s lesser known yet fantastically hipster music bars, The Deaf Institute, situated in the heart of the city’s student area just off Oxford Road. Along for the ride is Norway’s The New Death Cult in their first tour in the UK in support of their rather fantastic self-titled debut LP.
