Witching Waves return after a hiatus and a relocation to the countryside, Their fourth album Streams and Waterways looks at the passing of time by way of their spiky post-punk.
Streams and Waterways, whilst lyrically delicate at times, also feels like a celebration of an ethos that will live on long after we’re all gone. It starts with The Valley. An electric surge sprinkled with synths and clever grooves that opens up a wonderful pathway for the rest of these songs. The rollicking Everytime follows and is staple Witching Waves, while the anthemic one-two assault of The Choice You Make and Vessel are like sharp incisions injecting something vital into the bloodstream. Then there’s Open A Hole. A beautiful acoustic number more designed for campfires than live music venues, but somehow Witching Waves not only make it work, it’s one of Streams and Waterways’ apex moments. For those who have been with Witching Waves since day one, it’s the kind of moment that symbolises why we fall in love with bands in the first place. That growth from playing to two people to 200 people. Streams and Waterways feels like that. A quick glanc)e in the rear-vision mirror then a steady focus ahead, into the future." - Simon Kirk (Sun-137
