Clinic – The Witch
It doesn’t seem like 8 years since Clinic’s debut album and they made me fear “The Return of Evil Bill.” The band return for their fifth album this year and “The Witch” is the first single proper from that release. The band always sounded different and unique and that was the great part about them they were so hard to label. The song starts with a sound of a light maraca combined with this one chord that borderlines between annoying and really poppy but never really goes either way. Ade’s vocal again sounds so sharp, distant and at times so frantic and chaotic which, some people might not like because there is no other out there like him. The band is still sounding so fresh and so usual that it is hard to resist every time they come back into our lives.
