It’s after midnight as I write this. I should be asleep to get up with the alarm, set for about seven hours from now so I can get to work on time, though I’m holding out for a first-day-of-spring snowday. Fingers crossed. I can hear the dog snoring in the lulls of All Them Witches‘ new live release, Brussels, Belgium 3/3/16, issued via their Bandcamp. They’ve done that kind of thing before, always a cool vibe from these guys. I feel like the fact that my eyes are irritated from being awake for too long and the harsh light of my bedside lamp as I write this is fitting for the version of “Call Me Star” here, or “Mountain.” Some shit is just worth being awake for.

All Them Witches have been on tour more or less since late last year, supporting their 2015 third album, Dying Surfer Meets His Maker (review here), a substantial portion of which is represented here. Like I said, they’ve put up live show recordings in the past, though I don’t recall many of them sounding quite as professional as Brussels, Belgium 3/3/16. Maybe they upgraded whatever gear they’re using for the purpose. Maybe Europe is the difference. I wouldn’t speculate. In any case, they say there are others to come, and while there’s not much lacking in this 95-minute set, I’m cool with more en route.

I should go see this band again.

Art, tracklisting and links follow, if you’re up now or for later. Either way:
