Artist News Gigs & Festivals Releases
Esben And The Witch announce new album
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 24 July 2014
Esben And The Witch have announced details of their third album, ‘A New Nature’, which will be released through their own Nostromo Records on 1 Sep.
You may remember that the band asked fans for help in funding a trip to Chicago to record the record with Steve Albini. And that’s what happened. The system works.
But what do the band have to say about the LP now that it is recorded? This, this is what they have to say: “We wanted to create a record that had a level of purity to it. To strip away the layers and loops and see what lay beneath. To keep things naked, unadorned and raw. The three of us, in a room, making noise”.
They go on: “We looked to create a more primal record, full of human emotion and sonic intensity. Drawing on themes of endurance, strength, determination and self-actualisation. Themes that have always inspired us but perhaps, only now, a few years down the line, a few years of touring under our belts, we feel we have the confidence and maturity to explore and shout about”.
The band will play London’s Oslo on 4 Sep, and you can listen to the first single from the album, ‘Dig Your Fingers In’, here:
