Don’t underestimate the wickedly progressive jam of the squinty-eyed young dudes who make the surf-psych outfit The Wytches. These three doomy Brightonians spout gruesome grunge which is both slightly sinister and catchy as hell. Creating a sort of tormented surf sound, Kristian Bell, Gianni Honey and Daniel Rumsey are clearly specimens of the daunting juxtaposition of seaside upbringing along the dreary British coast. Following a string of singles and cassettes released on the likes of Hate Hate Hate Records, Robe for Juda and Fat Possum Records, the three-piece occultists drop their debut LP Annabel Dream Reader 25 August on Heavenly Records in Europe and 26 August on Partisan Records in the States. The acutely anguished, gloom-heavy release was recorded in just two days at Toe Rag Studios in Hackney, London. Adding a little groovy punk rhythm to the night are the Aruba-sprung, Amsterdam-based punk duo Nancy Acid.
