Here's a new video of Chorea from Brighton's best gloom ghouls and Breaking More Waves regulars Esben and the Witch . Shot on a cliff in Seaford, Sussex the black and white video features crazy screwed up dancing, backwards waves and the apparent zombie-lemming like procession to suicide as repeated lyrics ring out of watching people "dance themselves to death." This is not for the faint-hearted. The track is being released on 12" for Record Store Day, together with a remix of Eumenides by Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai. [...]

It's been slow start for goth outfit Esben and the Witch since being named to this years BBC sound list of one's to watch. There debut album "Violet Cries" has received mixed reviews and the Lp took a few listens for us to appreciate the twelve track effort. Synchronized dancers and Cliffs provide one creepy visual for there latest single "Chorea." Via [ P4K ]
The best Esben and the Witch songs work best as soundtrack cuts, where the bursts of emotion can be placed alongside video footage that gives it some context. This clip for "Chorea" makes me enjoy the song at least 40% more: We watch women dance convulsively before its implied that they maybe jump off a clip. Or at least stop dancing on a cliff. Either of which is an interesting video hook. Esben and the Witch's Violet Cries is out now via Matador. [ P4K ]

New shit from b3sci favs BretonLABS. The London production team takes tourmates' Esben and the Witch's track "Warpath" for a spin reworking it with some heavier beat textures and retouched synth voicings to give it that extra cool BretonLABS shine.

The Brighton trio have added their usual repertoire of macabre synths to the track, giving it a completely new direction.

Goddamnit! My new favorite band, Esben and the Witch , have canceled their debut Portland performance tonight due to being "stuck in the snow." Someone better dig them out. Unless "snow" is code for drugs. In that case, awesome. Anyway, here is what I wrote about the band in this week's paper. ESBEN AND THE WITCH, JULIANNA BARWICK, LOST LOCKETS (Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi) When the dust finally settled and the final tallboy of Lone Star was polished off, I saw nearly 50 bands at SXSW. Of [...]
