The Wytches by Emma Swann
The Wytches have signed to Alcopop! Records for the release of their new record.
The Wytches have unveiled their new album Our Guest Can’t Be Named.
Due out on September 22nd, it’s being trailed with the lead track Maria – an old tune which was, ‘the first track we put down for the album’, according to frontman Kristian Bell:
“We used to play this song live quite a lot and originally recorded it in a church in Liverpool with Bill Ryder Jones. It wasn’t really ready back then but we never became fed up with the song and its simplicity.”
While we were getting together a set list for a tour a couple years ago we realised we loved playing that song and were all unsure as to why we didn’t put out when it was written. Maybe it didn’t fit in with what we were going for at the time. Most of the tracks from the new album are based around the loss of identity. Lyrically this track fits in with that theme so it felt like the song finally found its place.
