Description
No Witch is The Cave Singers rock record. Laid to tape with dark wizard producer Randall Dunn (Black Mountain, Sunn O))), Boris), No Witch is grander and more lush than The Cave Singers previous efforts. Its also a nervier, scrappier affair: greasy guitars buck and rear up; Eastern influenced blues snake through songs; gospel choirs rise up like tidal waves.
There are big, grinning nods to Beggars Banquet- era Stones, the best of Mellencamp / Tom Petty (Clever Creatures) and the juke joint legends of Mississippi like Junior Kimbrough and RL Burnside (Black Leaf and No Prosecution If We Bail). Of course, its all filtered through that particular, magical Cave Singers formula: Pete Quirks reedy, behind-the-beat delivery and existential wordplay, Derek Fudescos lyrical guitar runs and drummer Marty Lunds no nonsense rhythms.
No Witch is a new found sheen to the aura that made The Cave Singers music so special to begin with. All told, theres treasure to be found here for the biker gang weekender, the double rainbow chaser and all that falls in the valley between them.
