The Sun, the Moon and the Witch’s Blues Post 7″ Teaser
It’s been a quick year since Swedish outfit The Sun, the Moon and the Witch’s Blues made such an intriguing debut with an 18-minute single-song self-titled EP. Then working as the duo of Robin Hirse (also Asteroid) and Jonas Ljungkvist, they affected a heavy psych and blues atmosphere across the hypnotically-engaging track, seeming to serve notice of an arrival in the making. Even playing it back now, its organic flow and rich tonality leave a positive and encouraging impression, which is to say, it leaves me wanting more.
The band — now apparently a five-piece with Hirse on vocals or vocals and guitar, Ljungkvist on guitar as well as guitarist Tobias Eriksson, bassist Joakim Kohlscheen and drummer Jimmi Kohlscheen — will make their first physical offering in the form of a debut 7″ through Rock Freaks Records sometime sooner or later in 2016. Basically nothing about the release is known at this point in terms of what songs will be included, how many will be pressed and when it will be out, but a teaser has been posted that features a dreamy chorus and that’s enough for me to go on. After they hit the studio this Spring and Fall, I’d been wondering what would come from it. Nice to have some idea on that one.
Also curious to see how Hirse winds up splitting time between The Sun, the Moon and the Witch’s Blues and the recently-reunited Asteroid, and how the two projects will coexist going forward. I guess we’ll find out. For now, if you listen to the teaser like six times in a row, it’s almost like a whole song. Not saying I’ve tried that or anything. You know.
