SINGLE REVIEW: Jackbones - Witch Hazel
'Witch Hazel' is far from a cheery listen; it channels some serious Radiohead vibes, offering a macabre infusion of morose, downbeat themes. Delving into subjects like death, anxiety, internal and external demons, and struggles to survive. It encapsulates feelings of being burdened by the world, overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty.
The cathartic lyrics are reflected by the track's harrowing musical accompaniment. Lower, sombre tones, accompanied by hazy, fuzzed-out riffs and an indie sensibility, eventually erupt into a powerful grunge meets shoegaze fusion, delivering a heightened impact and evoking a barrage of deeply unsettling emotions.
'Witch Hazel' takes you on a musical journey through every dark and haunting thought you've ever had, an explosion of angst portrayed in an epic fashion. The vocals are beautifully articulate, carrying an unapologetic passion and sincerity that adds to the haunting intensity of the track.
