Song of the Day - April 18, 2006

J. Mascis, of Dinosaur Jr. fame, has formed a side project called Witch. Witch has J Mascis on drums, Dave Sweetapple is on bass, while Kyle Thomas and Asa Irons of the psych-folk band Feathers sing and play guitar respectively. Their self-titled debut has only a single track available on Rhapsody, but it is a killer. This has changed since I originally wrote this post, now the entire Witch album is available. "Isadora" starts out with mellow folk guitar only to explode into a psychedelic-laced tune of distorted guitars, distant vocals, and pummeling drums. This is stoner rock of the highest caliber. The Negative Creep gives two thumbs up. Click here to listen.
