With their new album DOGGOD dropping right around the corner, specifically on April 4th via Suicide Squeeze, L.A. Witch have pumped out one more cut off of the forthcoming record. ‘Icicle’ is the name of the track, and will be the final single.
Tapping into a dark post-punk sound that is built off of slinky, haunting guitar lines, rapid drumming, and Sade Sanchez’s ghostly vocals, the content of the track delves into blurred lines of self-harm and something more spiritually sacrificial.
Along with the song, L.A. Witch have also unveiled an accompanying video. Directed by Paige Stark, the visuals lean toward The Blair Witch Project horror side of things. Check it out.
Touching on the single, Sade Sanchez said:
“‘Icicle’ is our coldest song on this record, written during a very dark period in my life. The lyrics explore themes of purification through self-sacrifice. The icicle in this song is symbolic of a knife or dagger and also a bit crystal like, symbolic of spiritual journey. The monotone vocal tone was my attempt to sing like a mix of Frank Sinatra and Ian Curtis.”
