Dig Your Fingers In To Esben and The Witch’s New Video

• 26th Aug 2014

Here’s a pretty creepy new one from Esben and The Witch for their latest single ‘Dig Your Fingers In’ – a medieval wanderer in a one shot slog through shrubland set to their inimitable brand of eerie prog folk.

Taken from the band’s forthcoming third full-length album, A New Nature, out Sept 8 on Nostromo Records, the band also play Hackney’s Oslo on September 4th.

Committed live to tape by producer legend Steve Albini in May 2014 at his Chicago-based Electrical Audio studio, this atmospheric beast is not one for the faint-of-heart as earthy, dynamic instrumentals vie for attention with etheral vocals and spare percussive elements.

Says the band of the new album:

“We wanted to create a record that had a level of purity to it. To strip away the layers and loops and see what lay beneath. To keep things naked, unadorned and raw. The three of us, in a room, making noise. We looked to create a more primal record, full of human emotion and sonic intensity.”
