PREORDER: oOoOO EP

After SALEM's King Night, my most highly anticipated release from the world of witch house is the oOoOO ep from TriAngle Records. The moment has finally arrived! Pre order the self titled 12" from Rough Trade now, released on 4th October: HERE

Tracklist:

01 Mumbai
02 Burnout Eyess
03 Sedsumting
04 Hearts
05 Plains Is Hot
06 Burnout Eyes (Visions of Trees Remix)

I am pleased to see they've used Alison Scarpulla's haunting photography for the artwork - totally encapsulating both the aura of witchhouse and the particular sound of oOoOO.

Here's a youtube of Hearts to get you in the mood:

Relatedly, I spent half of yesterday succumbing to the latest and greatest internet meme the witch house genreation will ever know: get yr b▲nd n▲mes here:

DOWNLOAD: SALEM - I BURIED MY HEART INNA WOUNDED KNEE

REPOST FROM XLR8R

No strangers to the world of fucked-up, screwed-down internet mixtapes, Salem has just released their I BURIED MY HEART INNA WOUNDED KNEE set of weird-sounding shit, which you can download here. No tracklist, no description, no nuthin'. Just some rope.

Night / Night

Two night related news beats for you here - Salem announce the title, tracklist and artwork for their debut album, King Night, due for release on 28th September through IAMSOUND records.  It's hard to believe that this will be their debut album, after releasing only three essential eps over the last few years.  Definitly the instigators of the signatory creeped out Drag sound of Witch House, this is going to be a massive event when it crawls onto the Earth in Autumn.

Tracklist:

01 King Night
02 Asia
03 Frost
04 Sick
05 Release Da Boar
06 Trapdoor
07 Redlights
08 Hound
09 Traxx
10 Tair
11 Killer


The second Night news is the Creep remix of Memory Tapes' Green Night track, available from their MySpace player over here: http://www.myspace.com/wearecreep.

Making very dark of the lightness of Memory Tapes summery Chillwave sound - and more evidence for the intrinsic relationship between the two genres. If such genre taxonomy details excite you!
