ESBEN AND THE WITCH - An Original Album Collection (2CD)

'Nowhere'
'Nowhere' is the fifth album of Berlin/UK-based three-piece ESBEN AND THE WITCH. Haunting,
tranquil passages, a primal fierceness expressed in punk-influenced, distorted riffs and the alluring
voice of vocalist Rachel Davies, the extremities of beauty, noise and power have never matched so
well before.
'Older Terrors'
Something ancient and primordial stalks the four tracks on the fourth full-length of ESBEN AND THE
WITCH. The haunting voice of Rachel Davies weaves arcane spells through hypnotic patterns.
Interlaced in these invocations is the emotive string sorcery provided by guitarist Thomas Fisher,
while Daniel Copeman evokes a state of trance with his shamanic drumming and wide sonic
landscapes painted by electronic synthesizer magic. Having established themselves as a highly
individual act and an excellent reputation as an outstanding live force since 2008, ESBEN AND THE
WITCH have honed their songwriting skills to the sharp crystalline edge that now manifests itself
clearly on 'Older Terrors'. Beauty, emotion, and musical depth celebrate a glorious wedding on these
tracks.
