Top tracks — play these first

  • →
    Eye — The opener sets the album’s restless pace, trading slow-building doom atmosphere for a more direct burst of distorted rock.
  • →
    1000 MPH — Its compact, high-speed attack makes the band’s shift toward punk urgency especially clear.
  • →
    Psychotic Rock — A loose-limbed riff and unruly vocal delivery bring the record’s psychedelic and garage-rock tendencies together.
  • →
    Old Trap Line — The closing track gives Witch more room to stretch out, recalling the heavier psychedelic sprawl of their debut.

Moments worth listening for

    The refrain returns to the idea of absence in a single repeated word.
