Wytch Hazel - Woven (Bad Omen Records)

Pre-orders & streaming: https://hypeddit.com/wytchhazel/vlamentations The first track released from 'V: Lamentations' is the galloping "Woven", a shining example of Wytch Hazel's avant-garde songcraft. Radiating a wholesome rustic charm tempered with pensive melancholy, its scrupulous simplicity belying its ability to continue blossoming with every spin. "On "Woven", in particular, you can hear us locking in and playing off each other in the room" says Colin Hendra of this crafty singalong. “I really wanted to write a heavy rock song about sensitivity and gentleness which you don’t hear too much of really. There's this section where it goes quiet after the lyrics "be sensitive" then a big guitar solo comes in where I try my best to shred and let it all loose”. This heavenly lead, initially improvised, then had to be slowed down and meticulously relearnt. Video by Jamie Ward
