Esben and the Witch

UK moody rockers Esben and the Witch released their sophomore album, Wash The Sins Not Only The Face, last week (1/21) via Matador. The album cuts goth-y darkwave with the atmospheric anthemics of ’00s arena rock, and if that kind of stuff is up your alley, Esben and the Witch deliver. If you’ve yet to hear the album, you can listen to it below via a spotify widget. Also below are two videos from the album, and you can grab the MP3 for “Deathwaltz” above.

Esben and the Witch will be supporting the album with a North American tour this March/April which hits NYC on March 22 at Mercury Lounge and March 23 at Knitting Factory. Tickets for the Mercury Lounge show go on sale today (2/1) at noon and tickets for the Knitting Factory show are on sale now.

Like the rest of the tour, both NYC shows are with Heliotropes, who have other upcoming shows in NYC too.
