Album of the month


Wicca Artichoke – ‘Behind You’

Inimitable genre-bending crossover potential from this Oregon Duo. Wicca Artichoke demonstrate how much ingenuity still fuels the ‘Haunted House’ genre. Sometimes referred to as ‘Ghost Train’, or 'Jag', the Haunted House genre has been gradually gaining ground on all the ‘right’ Blogs recently.

‘Shoelaces’, ‘Grimmace’ and ‘Pig Tits’ have all been championing the sound since last Tuesday.
The mix of laid-back slowed-down Nineties’ trance music, asymmetrical jazz funk grooves, flatulent electronica and dog whistles has been hypnotising laptop hipsters in underground club land for weeks now, and it’s now the chance for us mere mortals to get in on the act today.

Sounding as contemporary as subconscious intuition, sexual abandon, mortal dread, ecological anxiety and beaver fracking, Wicca Artichoke show all the metaphorical associations of the deep but without the life-threatening Bends. Like a beautifully terrifying Burlesque show held in a frozen chimp house, Wicca Artichoke will certainly go viral with this magnificent collection of tunes bottled from what seems like the interiors of dictator’s jets.

Out Now!
