A new singe from All Them Witches wasn’t on anyone’s radar,
but as its Halloween, anything can happen, and it certainly does here. 1x1 is
the heaviest five minutes the Nashville three-piece have put out in some time.
A repetitive riff twists and turns into something darker
before everything explodes into life with the haunting vocal harmonies of
Charles Michael Parks Jr’s vocals rooted deeply within. The sound is a heavy
groove with a raw fuzzy edge that sounds huge. After seeing them play The
Roundhouse in London last year, the three-piece managed to create something
that was delicate one minute but was huge the next and manage to fill the huge
venue perfectly. Here, 1x1 feels like this could do exactly that. The next five
minutes is pure musical magic. The vocals that are also harmonised with
guitarist Ben McLeod and drummer Robby Staebler creating melodies that are
almost a mantra chant in parts. It’s a dark song and if you look up the lyrics,
there is definitely something wicked and sinister about them.
As far as I know there is no album imminent and this song is
something of a teaser for their European support run with Ghost, which I am
sure they will gain a few new fans from.
All Them Witches like to change, evolve and never sound
familiar for very long, which is part of their magic. You know what to do next.
