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:
