Ably-monikered Brazilian trio Desert Druid and the Acid Caravan have signed on to release their debut EP, The VVitch, through DHU Records. The cover art and info for the release are below, and I don’t have a release date as yet, but you the video for the title-track was posted here earlier and you can see it below as well — isn’t that convenient — and the four songs will come on a one-sided 12″ mastered by Tony Reed with art on the B-side. For a second there, I looked at the press release and thought they had a 20-minute track called “Silkscreen,” which would be fun, but alas. Probably etched? I don’t know. Sounds neato either way. And by “neato” I mean heavy and doomed and “that way lies madness” and all that kind of fun stuff.

You might recall Ruidoteka Records had the tape of The VVitch out. So far as I know that’s still happening as well.

Desert Druid and the Acid Caravan to Release Debut EP The VVitch; Title-Track Posted

Posted in Whathaveyou on May 10th, 2021 by JJ Koczan

Brazilian doom rockers Desert Druid and the Acid Caravan have signed to Ruidoteka Records to release the cassette version — remember “k7” equals “cassette” — of their debut EP, The VVitch. The title-track is streaming now as a single and I don’t think you call your band something like Desert Druid and the Acid Caravan because you’re trying to be subtle, so it’s in accordance with that kind of mindset that the first track from the impending however-many-songer comes through with a pretty good idea of where it’s headed style-wise. It’s headed into that cloud of smoke. Also possibly the cloud is sentient and eats ladies or something, I’m not sure.

I haven’t heard the whole tape yet, but the digital release is later this month or early next and that’ll do just fine, though if you were up to chasing down a purple-and-black tape for yourself, you wouldn’t get a fight from me on principle.

Info came down the PR wire:
