In A Witch Forest

by Spökraket

Michael Mueller Spökraket, like Tolkien's Dwarves, have dug deep into the mountain in search of psychedic gold, and struck a very rich vein indeed.

Heavy but nuanced, these tunes either rattle along with motorik power, or wobbled, as if entranced by dark magic.

The vocals, nearly submerged in the mix, softly menace like a corruptive spirit.

Such a shame these guys broke up, because they were really onto something. Still, they've left us with an album to savour.
Favorite track: Tandava.

shaun rogan Spokraket are Danush psychedelic warriors who have come for your mind. Echoes of The Perfect Prescription wrestle with the ghosts of Acid folk rock pioneers of past millenniums. Let them drug your mind! Favorite track: In A Witch Forest.

about

After 14 months of recording in our beloved Cable Hell Studio we've finally completed our third album. It's a hazy, moody and intense journey of psychedelic rock and shoegaze with inspirations from North African and Indian folk music, Madchester and krautrock.

This time we've tried a different approach with shorter tracks. As always it's recorded on tape and we had loads of fun in the process.

In A Witch Forest was released on vinyl in May 2015 and is the first release on Cable Hell Records.
