Esben And The Witch announce new album ‘Hold Sacred’
ESBEN AND THE WITCH have announced a new album!
Titled Hold Sacred, the upcoming album from the Brighton-based post-rock band is the follow-up to 2018’s Nowhere, and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Nostromo Records.
Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist/bassist Rachel Davies says, “everything’s changed and nothing’s changed. This kernel is the purest essence of ESBEN AND THE WITCH since our inception. I feel proud of us for staying strong as a trio, as a weird little family that has managed to create something out of the darkness that hopefully shimmers, like a crystal in the mud. I am proud of not giving up, of maintaining our integrity throughout. This is the sound of three people who love and support each other, navigating the ever present figure of the black dog; and if we can provide help or solace for anyone else, also haunted, then that is value enough.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; The Well.
Speaking about the new song, Davies says, “a voice echoing from the bottom of a well. A call from a chamber, from within oneself, to summon the strength to climb out of the darkness, when it seems impossible. To call upon things often deemed frightening and to change your perception of said demons in order to survive. To build a ladder of light to aid your own escape.”
