NACHTHEXEN self-titled 7" review
NACHTHEXEN
are bloody amazing. Their first release, a cassette called 'The
Other' was one of my favourite releases of recent years, and this new
EP is no less brilliant. Four tracks of angry, energetic,
synth-fuelled punk-rock from four women from Sheffield, with some
tight drum and bass work, and keyboard sounds that still remind me of
old horror movie scores. Despite there being a kind of dark, gothy
vibe to this, there are a lot of moments on it that will make you
laugh, as well as loads of gang shouts, and some ace lyrics about
anxiety, intoxicated males and the spaces they claim, diet culture,
and there's also a re-recording of their classic 'Cheer Up Luv'.
Definitely worth checking if you fancy some shouty-synthy-gothy
punk-rock with politically strong lyrics. It also has cool artwork
and comes on lovely piss-yellow wax. Ace!
*They also have a track on our latest comp cassette*
