The Witch House thread

As a side note, oOoOO wins for our favorite witch house band name, with runner-up awards going to GL▲SS †33†H, GR†LLGR†LL and ℑ⊇≥◊≤⊆ℜ.

this whole scene is a parody of itself and i can't wait for everyone to get bored with this

How do you pronounce ℑ⊇≥◊≤⊆ℜ

dig the idea of this genre. spotted a white ring/ooooo song on emusic, which led me to another song on the same label:

is this "witch house"? i sure like it. it's electronic, cut-up stuff.

White Ring and Robert Disaro UK tour. If only there was a way of finding out the venues of said gigs - Google is really not compatible with this genre at all.

there's a song by a band whose name I can't remember--though one of the words in the name is RADIO with the A being replaced by one of those triangle thingies--anyway their song Chant samples Badu's Soldier...I thought that was kind of unexpected...

what are the names of the good White Ring songs?

the band you mentioned is LAKE R▲DIO. a band I don't really care for.

Suffocation and lxC999 are White Ring songs I like, but I am also a sucker for drum machines and the intentionally spooky.

Pure Ownage:

Fuck the haters man this shit rules....

much more industrial than what i usually associate with ... the genre this thread is about. caught these guys live in bk sort of by accident and it was all fog machines and pounding drums and some dudes were there with really extreme industrial haircuts. i guess it was only a matter of time

^^ these guys do it well

she say im down wih huh, i say bitch you alone
you lyin wit the flesh, lyin with the bone
she say i'm lyin wih huh, my mind in the SKREET
i say i'm not with me, i'm with she, i'm with she
now plane lights blinkin, off in da evenin
got me thinkin, wish i was leavin
it's not that i'm tryna be somewhere else
i'm not tryna be here... by myself
if you were here too i'd still be with myself
i talk real loud, i don't wanna hear myself
i'm faraway lost and i don't want help
if you could bring me back, i kill myself... haaa
not myself, that's just myself
i don't know if you could tell, but i'm in hell
i don't know if you noticed, but i haven't spoken
my arm might be broken, i'm so sick of jokin

Gatekeeper is not witch house fwiw

why isnt this genre called haunted house

^good question 85

I saw White Ring last night and it was really good, even if there were only five people there and their set seemed to consist of only four songs.

Do Demdike Stare belong to this group? Or are they... mmm... witchstep?

Also more keen on using Haunted House as a genre name than Witch House.

^^ 'the stars are moving' is my jam

white ring are pretty good live! though they will be better when they can hire people to put the stage together beforehand for them, seeing them wandering about fiddling with wires wasn't good for the ~mystique~

def find myself wanting to know more about them, anyway

oh and the smoke alarm went off halfway through because of their ~spooky~ dry ice, sigh

I just watched the Fader Fort videos. That is some terrible performance, I couldn't stop laughing. They're either some of the finest trolls in music right now or really, honestly fucked up by drugs.

I kinda want to see a 'Salem Shreds' video now.

there's more differences than similarities in these bands for all of them to be put under one big tent, me thinks. I still don't get why this particular trend in electronic music is getting so much attention among those that have bothered to check for it. It's like hype for the sake of hype. What are we averaging now, a new buzz genre to hate every 3 months? That said, the guy behind ooOoOO has very interesting ideas and I think of all the acts, this will be the one to release songs that I'll want to hear the same time next year.

This is what I imagine Witch House sounds like:

who on ABC thought that Charlie Brown rapping would be a great idea?

(S/he was right, but still...)

I don't think this is witch house. In fact I'm not sure what it is. But it's ace.

i'm no expert, but i believe that is what's known as "rap music"

Ha ha, quite. But I'm not that stupid that I'm going to post on the Gun Sounds Thread. Do I look like I was born yesterday?

Just your usual cliche rap video with dudes pulling off their own fingernails and pulling clumps of hair out of their scalp

Seriously though that ruled

ILX has been talking about those guys for a long time now in that Odd Future thread (cos thats who it is).

Is anyone else familiar w/ this dude? His myspace claims that he invented witch house, which I hadn't even known existed til I saw him randomly at DIY-venue concert. He opened up for Crystal Castles on NYE in Boulder a week back. I've talked to him personally but sort of consider him a douche, just on the superficial "look at what i'm wearing" level.

He's a pleasant guy, I just psychological can't bring myself to like somebody who dresses for attention. Even if they are a "super star".

so can I just say that the Creep EP is fucking fantastic

Found this on the Disaro myspace. I'd say is about halfway between Witch House and Chillwave. I like it.

Dunno if this is the right thread or not, but this new Sleep ∞ Over song is lovely

I generally haven't been too keen on this scene, but I'm liking this a lot: http://alteredzones.com/posts/1396/zoned-holy-other-u/

I also like the last.fm picture
http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/59392111/Holy+Other+noir1.jpg

Are Holy Other witch house, then? Heard "Your Love" randomly on the radio last night (OK, not randomly, on one of Erol Alkan's radio shows) and was completely struck by it, but out of context it seemed a lot more ambient-ish, like a slowed-down fuzzy version of The Field. But I'm hopeless with trying to get my head around genre. And I didn't really like the other MP3 that's floating around the interweb.

Anyway, I like it.

I've heard Holy Other pegged as such, but I don't really have a feel for what that genre tag means myself... I do like the new EP quite a lot, too.

protip: witch house is a "style" of music, not a "genre" of music

a guy introduced himself to me the other night as a "witch house DJ", in utter seriousness, and it was hard not to laugh. i admit total cluelessness, though

RIP witch house

†his Is A †rick

UPDATE: Witch house band †‡† (aka Ritualz) is "SO FUCKING PISSED RIGHT NOW", saying that Chino is totally “stealing my shit”. (via Living Ears)

from "change (in the house of flies)": "I look at the cross"

lol @ ppl who didn't see this coming

as soon as I figure out what wolf house is & I invent the genre ppl are gonna flock to that shit so be ready

rip witch house, wolf house froze you forever
