Will Oakeshott goes to the dark side to gather up all things metal in South Australia…
you should LISTEN to
Kitchen Witch – ‘Glitch’
A trip-hop beat sets the tone for Kitchen Witch’s narrative of political injustice and climate change on new single ‘Glitch’. A sudden dose of Flyleaf’s fierceness is administered as the line ‘the snake has uncoiled’ is uttered before the four-piece returns to a dreamy soundscape Chris Walla would be enthralled by. This sonic swing between soft and severe continues, building in intensity before the final chorus gives way and leaves listeners poisoned with rock awe.
