Nashville, Tennessee, heavy psych/blues rocking four-piece All Them Witches have released a new song dubbed “Effervescent” that marks their first studio recording since late 2013’s Lightning at the Door. That album (discussed here) was the band’s second studio outing and has received considerable attention domestically and internationally since its release, following-up and solidifying the molten, jammy blues vibes of All Them Witches‘ 2012 debut, Our Mother Electricity, which was picked up for release via Elektrohasch Schallplatten early in 2013 (review here), making them the first American band to have a release on the label helmed by guitarist/vocalist Stefan Koglek of German heavy psych forerunners Colour Haze.

Last month, All Them Witches headed to the West Coast to play the Scion Rock Fest, and in the fall, they’ll make their way to Europe for the first time, playing a round of dates that includes an appearance at the inaugural Desertfest Belgium, set for Oct. 10-12 with Electric Wizard, Brant Bjork, YOB and many others. Following their return from the West Coast, drummer Robby Staebler was interviewed here — he’s joined in the band by bassist/vocalist Michael Parks, Jr., guitarist Ben McLeod and keyboardist Allan van Cleave — and gave some hint as to what to expect from these new recordings:

We recorded four songs. One of those is gonna be on our official next full-length, but I think we’re working on a shorter release right now. It’s gonna be cool. It’s gonna be pretty jammy, a lot of guitar. It’s cool… We did it in the same studio, same way, same dude we did the first two records with. Andy Putnam. He’s recording this too. So yeah. That’s that. We recorded it digitally, not analog. It’s a lot faster…

We see the reaction that it’s getting and we all believe in each other as musicians, and not just in this past record that we just put out, but in the stuff that we’re gonna be doing in the future. We’ve only been a band for two years, and we’ve just tapped into something and we know that crazy shit’s gonna happen and we’re just gonna ride it out and see what happens.

Not sure if “Effervescent” was a part of that recording or done separately — they posted that the song was done on a 4-track, so maybe not — but either way, All Them Witches‘ new single is available for listening, and can be streamed using the player below.
