Nashville-based four-piece All Them Witches have posted a video for the second installment in what the band has dubbed their Baker’s Dozen singles series. “Fall Into Place” arrives behind last month’s “Blacksnake Blues” (posted here), which you can also hear below, and as the band gets ready to hit the road for what looks like an increasing amount of the year, they seem as well to be exploring new ground sonically as well.’

This is kind of a relief, to be honest. I dig “Blacksnake Blues” a lot, and a big part of that is the manner in which the track speaks to the band’s earlier work. “Fall Into Place” — true to form for the band — doesn’t. Instead, it’s among the most atmospheric material they’ve done, minimally percussed but backed by a current of drone that plays out behind the melancholic vocal melody. This, in turn, feels more in conversation with some of the experimentation with loops and different kinds of noise manifestations that showed up on 2020’s Nothing as the Ideal (review here), and in light of the shift in lineup that brought Allan Van Cleave back into the band on Rhodes/violin, etc., I’m glad those experiments haven’t been left by the wayside.

Have to wonder if All Them Witches aren’t thinking a 2LP compilation of all these songs when the year’s over, but I suppose we have many more months to speculate throughout 2022 as they build toward the entirety of Baker’s Dozen in a track-per-month rate and one to grow on.

Are we thinking last Friday of every month here? If so, I’ll go ahead and hold a spot for March 25 now.

Enjoy:
