Concerts of one hour, in addition, there were two preliminary groups



Ha, that's almost absurd that I see of the English Esben And The Witch only half the concerts, and afterwards do not really know what I have to think of them . For the third time in a row (Haldern Pop Festival 2010, Festival of Inrocks Paris, the end of 2010, now in Paris) I only get about half an hour Music by Brighton. Haldern came in I was not fast enough to the Spiegeltent, at the Festival of the show anyway Inrocks very short and to this 21 I did not come until February 2011 by 22 clock eingetröpelt because I have previously in the TV show on Canal + by Keren Ann was. A three-time coitus interruptus, and so something is indeed known to be quite unsatisfactory.

wonder still I wonder what I have to think of Esben And The Witch. Their shows me some moments to remember in an exorcism and sado-masochists should get their money. When Rachel Davies, the only woman in the three-piece band, swinging away at the drums ("Be quiet, be quiet!"), Then Sadofans definitely envious of the skins and would like to hold out her bare butt. "Yes, my lady, bright correctly set on it, I like that!" - "Well, you have willed it so, you wash lights Peng, peng ." -
"Oh, thank you so good to me!"
... That Esben / The Witch is a Modeerscheinnung is, I have no doubt. They belong to a kind of "post-Fever Ray" movement, just as Zola Jesus, Glasser, or Australia. This dot is like everything dark, mystical, okkutltisch, tribal manner he infected and 80 years. Thundering electro pop is mixed with post punk and this seems the cocktail schwazre to please nightshade family among indie fans. I myself can remember even after the third time in a single song that I would have remained in Gedächntis liable. Since I, as a fan of Joy Division and The Cure but with electronic post-punk, as long as it dark and not too bombastic, it can do something, I have added myself album Violet Cries
and now I know this week finally, whether the whole only a dummy package for moon worshipers, or music with substance.
And as the band members actually look like ( so!
), you'll probably live can hardly fathom, because the blue or deep red mist their faces almost unrecognizable makes. What is on the tour diary of laser beams (yes it was, just like Fever Ray, just not as sprawling), it should be clear: Nothing! Even then, the movies we always thought it was stupid. Sun
