This genre is better now - a few years after the hype due artistic growth, also more people working the "grave wave" scene. Really enjoying some on this Halloween.
Which hip-hop acts and recordings are the influence here? I like the whole Planet Rock / Planet Death vibe. Also some of it sounds like Cocteau Twins Garlands - the guiltiest of goth pleasures.

I like Purity Ring. Are they Witch House?

sorry to get all Chris Ott here, but it's unfuckingbelievable to me that I can count at least three "tastemaking" music websites staffed with living breathing 30-somethings can actually feign excitement over underdone, underdeveloped bullshit like witch house and chillwave.

Also some of it sounds like Cocteau Twins Garlands - the guiltiest of goth pleasures.
I'd like to know what sounds like Garlands because that is the opposite of a guilty pleasure, delicious as it gets. I really wish they had more albums like that (as well as the early EPs). I've meant to investigate this stuff for years but the only stuff I heard sounded quite boring. I was hoping for something like Aghast or Divine Punishment era Diamanda Galas.
Sleep Over sounded cool but that's pretty much gothic dreampop, doesn't sound like a new genre.
Will check samples of Creep soon hopefully.

The Canadian duo DKMD do a nice line in giallo-influenced disco that overlaps with a lot of witch house stuff:

The VV17CHØU7 club events in Moscow look really fun.

Cult and Crossparty are probably the pick of the artists.

I love listening to Witch House playlists on Spotify at work because A. I like the way it sounds and B. the people who want to come into my office and give me more work to do cannot take even 15 seconds of it and flee

was listening to the Creep album on the way to work which was more witch house-adjacent, but it made me remember "witch house"

I haven't caught up with it recently, but I used to listen to this Spotify playlist all the time.

also we looked up the translated lyrics to ic3peak's "Грустная Сука" and they're pretty great:

Talking of Russian Witch House, I was just thinking about Vagina Vangi. They did a few EPs and things about five years ago, I liked this one -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvcQ4P2CcDo
(warning that it doesn't really get going until the second half)
And they did quite a few remixes of note, like this version of Ghetto Ass Witch by †‡†
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNEksbngz9E
They were definitely a bit cheesy but still exactly what I wanted from witch house.
