Sometimes deadpan Sonic Youth, sometimes Veronica Falls trading vocals and sometimes screaming like the Pixies, Witching Wavessecond album conjures a meaner beast from the darkness for the London trio. The main thrust of Crystal Café is the overriding disdain for life and their surroundings. There’s not just a mild sense of peril in the words… Continue reading Witching Waves at Bearded Magazine

Home › Music › Witching Waves “The Threat” Witching Waves “The Threat” New video from Happy Happy Birthday to Me’s Wtiching Waves. The video itself is a macabre nightmare, full of references to classic silent horror movies. The band comes off as a bouncy crunchy post-punk outfit with hooky 70’s death rock tinged choruses.

Witching Waves at Narc
Barely a year after their excellent debut Fear Of Falling Down, it’s a pleasant surprise to see Witching Waves back already. Like so many of the best second albums, Crystal Café takes what made its predecessor great, making it even more vivid and more vital. It’s noticeably louder than the debut, but that’s not all… Continue reading Witching Waves at Narc
