Hear All Them Witches Reinvent 70s-Style Psych-Rock on New Album ‘ATW’
[Revolver]
Nashville quartet hails to Blue Cheer, Floyd, Sabbath, while never sounding derivative
ATW is the latest album from All Them Witches, a Nashville psych-rock band that nods to Blue Cheer, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and all manner of Seventies rock, yet doesn’t fall into the standard traps the ensnare much of the Deep Purple–worshipping masses and every bell-bottomed guitar player to ever hit a fuzz pedal. Across eight new tracks, All Them Witches dabble in Moody Blues–esque psychedelic pop, Zeppelin-tinged blues and riffy hard rock, all while still somehow managing to sound fresh and original. Check out the LP, which is due September 28th on New West Records, in full here for the first time.
“We’re trying to get to something better — not necessarily just as musicians — but as people,” singer/bassist Charles Michael Parks has said. “I’ve always said that as we change as people, our music changes, that’s why we can never make the same records. I can’t be in one of those bands. I hope you’ll never hear ‘another predictable album from All Them Witches.’ There’s no art in that.”
