All Them Witches stream tracks from new LP
The Nashville-based psych-rock quartet All Them Witches are set to return with Sleeping Through The War via New West Records this Friday, February 24th, 2017. The 8-song, 46 minute set was produced by Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell) The band is streaming three tracks, ahead of release.
The bands sound on Sleeping Through The War has become so expansive, you can hear echoes of Dr. Johns Gris-Gris, the glacial expanses of Sigur Ros, the stoner sludge of Kyuss, and the meditative om of the East. We wrote it in about six days, says guitarist Ben McLeod. Where in the past we would have just gone ahead and written and recorded in the studio, we were like nah were going to do it with Dave, lets be prepared. It was real minimal, Dave didnt want us to get too crazy. He added, We wanted a record you could crank. And we wanted girl backup singers. It might seem like an odd detail — the appearance of the Nashville songstress Caitlin Rose, Erin Rae, and Tristen on backing vocals add a classic rock flourish, at odds with their own work, but it makes sense within the context of the songs and within the context of their career. All Them Witches are at their Ummagumma moment, their Bare Trees, their Tres Hombres. Singer/bassist Charles Michael Parks offered, Were trying to get to something better — not necessarily just as musicians — but as people. Ive always said that as we change as people, our music changes, thats why we can never make the same records. I cant be in one of those bands. I hope youll never hear another predictable album from All Them Witches. Theres no art in that.
All Them Witches have also announced additional North American tour dates in support of Sleeping Through The War. The tour kicks off in the bands hometown of Nashville, TN on February 24th.
