Re: Esben and the Witch

Excellent stuff Eyre !!! :cheers2 Esben and the Witch sound great....just my cup of tea. Dark doomy, fine female vocals ,haunting melodies . I know absolutely NOTHING about this band, so you will have to fill us in on this one. How many albums ,where they are from...etc.......
From the appearance of the ESBEN AND THE WITCH they are a band probably put in the indie section....but sound more Gothic than your average Goth band
Very impressed.....now im going to look them up :grinthumb

ESBEN AND THE WITCH.....come from Brighton UK .Their album has had good reviews in NME .
Musically they sound like Siouxsie and the Banshees, Stone 588, Autumn.etc.....but I think thats just coincidence.
Looking very student geeky...I tend not to be put off by a bands image, its the music that counts.......wont be long before they start wearing black and eyeliner :D
Yet another album on my wish list.....thanks for the introduction Eyre !

yes great new band. Violet Cries will make my top 20 this year. Reminds me I've not listened to it in awhile. I'll put it on now.

Saw them back in March amazing show but they pay in complete darkness.
I never use flash but some other press guy was so

Really enjoying the new album. More dark haunting music and interesting vocals.

Great track Aktivator !! ESBEN AND THE WITCH showing quick signs of maturity already, as you say the vocals are spot on. If the rest of the tracks are this good it makes a very interesting album
[....just noticed on the video their all wearing black....:grinthumb ]
