Oct 21, 2015Impressively, the album was recorded in a day, and it swells with atmosphere.
-
Oct 12, 2015A record unlike anything else you will hear this year.
-
Oct 9, 2015For all its groove, for all its brilliance, the most impressive thing about Sexwitch is just how essential its contents continue to sound.
-
Q MagazineOct 6, 2015The effect is brilliantly female and forceful. [Nov 2015, p.115]
-
Sep 28, 2015What could have been a self-indulgent curiosity becomes yet another treasure chest waiting to be flung open amidst 2015's plentiful trove.
-
UncutSep 25, 2015What could be tokenistic gels well. [Nov 2015, p.81]
-
Sep 25, 2015It's this momentum that makes Sexwitch such a transcendent album, and some of the most exciting music any of these artists have made.
-
Sep 24, 2015Even the most conventional song, and the sole western one, Skip Spence’s acid breakdown anthem War in Peace, sounds transformed, otherworldly and compelling.
-
Oct 13, 2015At worst, Sexwitch marks a fascinating detour in an already accomplished career. At best, it’s a creatively adventurous standalone release. In actuality, it likely falls somewhere in the middle.
-
Sep 24, 2015It’s fun, it’s mysterious, it’s committed to its concept, and it could be the album of the Halloween season.
-
Oct 12, 2015It's bonkers and wild.
-
Sep 24, 2015Two or three more long jams in a double harmonic scale would have worked just fine. But the lack of closure, like the lack of polish, is entirely characteristic of this release, which to be honest is less of an 'album' than a longish EP.
-
Sep 24, 2015Spell-casting pop and Twitter branding this is not; the excellent force of this album is how it taps into the sheer pain, anger, and sensuality of the idea of “the witch,” rather than its archetypal signifiers in pop culture.
-
Oct 15, 2015Repetition is key to this music, but after several cycles, tracks begin to plod, broken up only by Khan's vocal work. The Sexwitch interpretations lose vital elements from the originals like horns, organs, and bells.
