L.A. Witch have always exuded an aura of effortless cool, whether it manifested as theAmericana noir and laconic back-to-basics rock n’ roll of their self-titled debut or the blisteringaustere adventurism of their sophomore album Play With Fire. The band—comprised of SadeSanchez (guitar/vocals), Irita Pai (bass), and Ellie English (drums)—began as an informal affair,but the sultry and beguiling reverb-draped songs they created caught on with the public, movingthe project beyond the insular space of the band’s friends and peers in Southern California intothe broader world. On their latest album, DOGGOD, the trio push their craft beyond theirprevious creative and geographical confines, opting to craft the material in Paris, recording thetracks at Motorbass Studio on the Rue de Martyrs. DOGGOD explores broader swaths of sonicterrain, employs a greater arsenal of tones, and probes larger existential and cosmic themes, allwhile retaining the band’s signature sense of the forbidden, the forsaken, and the foreboding.
