ETA: Sorry, it's all gone... Until the inevitable Mediafire upload and dissection of each track on Youtube. It is a godly thing though. 100 downloads in 30 minutes - impressive.
Yeah... I sorta stuck it up there ASAP. Go listen.
ALSO... Gonna pimp out my soundcloud account - I'm a novice in the field (like a weeks worth of fucking around before those tracks went up)... Lemme know whatcha think ;)
@Ninewhilenine: This is interesting. CR3D17 1's got kind of a "draaaag-THUMP" feel to it, like something cyclopean and gibbous stalking its way through the woods surrounding a town.
Thanks so much for the kind words, and encouragement. Terrifying and thumping was what I was going for, I think the ritualistic chanting before and after pretty much gives it a "Summoning giant fucking monster" feel to it...
I'M finding that As Witch House expands, metastasizes and matures, acts are now starting to career off into different trajectories as they become more comfortable in their sound. Some are going down the Hip Hop sample route like Skeletonkids, some are moving down the electro pop route, some are becoming more techno/house orientated like ?NGST, and some are moving towards the ambient /noise area, such as I†† .
@icelandbob: I like how diverse the genre is becoming too. My tastes are pretty broad - I like all the bands you mentioned, although I lean towards Skeleton Kids / GVCCI HVCCI / AAIMON.
The scale of my interest in WH has grown incredibly fast.... I think I have about 10gigs of Witch House now DL'd from Soundcloud, Bandcamp and various other places. I started listening about a year ago. By comparison, I only reached the 10gig mark with dubstep after a couple of years. Most significant for me personally is the fact that this shift in my tastes has also heralded the end of my vinyl-buying days... I feel no need to own beautifully crafted 12" vinyl discs of these witch house tunes, I am perfectly happy with them being disembodied electronic entities. It is a liberation.
WIK?N have released their EP "MODUL?R WITCHCR?FT". they're a Witch house act from the UK who make some nice ambient based Dead sounds. They're on the Pale Noir label which is another hub for a lot fo the Wtich House acts such as Story of Isaac and I††. they also have their own Soundcloud.
Next up is the "Dusk House EP" from SPIDER?WEBS. Not as heavy as most witch House and is slightly more Disco and electronic based. I imagine it would be what Witch House would sound like if it was more into Kraftwerk instead of 80's Hip Hop.
Next up is some real hollow sounding dead music with ? L??????? ?? , the debut album from LoveÐieÐ. This is a full on mix dark Ambient and death doom witch house that contains both organic and electronic sounds. I will probably be using this in an up and coming mix. It just sounds so full of despair. I love it!
