Sometimes we all need to feel kind of epic. The lead track on Violet Cries, the debut album from Brighton, England's Esben and the Witch, is a great way to accomplish that end. Starting almost inaudibly, the song builds up massively until the 4 minute mark, at which point the noise and reverb give way to sparse guitar, simple percussive sounds, and the haunting vocals of Rachael Davies. More than just perfect music for your next pre-emptive Halloween party, this trio (signed to Matador Records) will make these last bitter weeks of winter much more bearable.
