WTCHS - Over Kilmer (Sonic Unyon/Out Of Sound/PERDU)
 |
| Wtchs - Over Kilmer |
Vowels. There are only five of
them but they are massively underrated. I keep looking at WTCHS and thinking
"does it stand for something? Is it WATCHES with vowels missing? Or
WITCHES?". It's confusing, to say the least, but I'll try not to get
bogged down in the details and just give this first single of forthcoming 'It's
Not A Cross, It's A Curse!' EP. Both 'Over Kilmer' and the accompanying video are
dark, unsettling and menacing pieces of art that dry out the mouth and make you
shift in your seat. Buzzsaw guitars produce angular melodies, the bass thrums
like a generator in a basement and the distorted, almost undistinguishable
screams come from all directions like those that you hear in your nightmares.
I'm sure this will make more contextual sense in amongst the rest of the EP but
on its own this song is like seeing a lone undertaker walking down the high
street on a sunny Saturday afternoon. It stands out and forces you to do a
double take which can only be a good thing.
