Artist: Esben And The Witch

Label: Matador
Genre: Rock, alternative
Comments: After a self-released EP and single, Esben and the Witch have signed with Matador Records and released Violet Circles, their debut album. With a name referencing a Danish fairy tale, the group evokes the dark, gothic nature that comes with the eerie stories of the past. Rachel Davie's distant and fading voice compliments the delicate electronic instrumentals in an extremely haunting effect.
The downside comes with the extent to which the group takes this haunting. In an effort to experiment or get their tracks on the next Twilight soundtrack, Esben and the Witch place too much noise in the album without enough noticeable melodies or memorable singles. The album is definitely listenable and interesting the first time round, but it becomes easily neglected for more structured songs. Try "Marching Song" and "Hexagons IV."
