Debut: L.A. Witch Releases Catchy New Song “Icicle”
L.A. Witch embodies the quintessential essence of an indie rock band, featuring the talented trio of Sade Sanchez, Irita Pai, and Ellie English, whose music delivers rich and vibrant sounds. The group is set to unveil its latest LP, DOGGOD, on April 4 via Suicide Squeeze Records.
During their time in Paris, where they recorded their new album, the band experienced more than just the music scene. Sade Sanchez appreciated the city’s aesthetic beauty, unique architecture, delectable cuisine, captivating museums, historic theaters, fashionable locals, and vibrant music venues. Even the intricate details on Parisian doors left a lasting impression on the band members. Moreover, they found the city’s cemeteries, particularly Montmartre cemetery, to be incredibly picturesque and inspiring, enriching their overall experience.
The decision to record their album overseas in Paris was not made lightly. Sade Sanchez was drawn to Motorbass Studios after spending time in the city and felt it encapsulated the energy and ambiance she was seeking for the album. Paris itself served as a wellspring of inspiration, influencing many of the album’s lyrics and concepts. Choosing to record there felt like a natural progression for the band, enhancing their creative process and enriching their sound.
Despite the challenges of being away from the United States during the recording process, L.A. Witch found solace in Paris’ nurturing environment. Ellie English recalls a memorable meal shared with the band in the studio, indulging in a seafood feast while savoring French delicacies. Similarly, Irita Pai cherishes the classic French dishes like the ficelle apero chorizo poivron and jambon beurre, celebrating the unique culinary experiences Paris had to offer.
Reflecting on their journey over the past five years, Irita Pai highlighted the band’s growth and evolution since their last album release. Despite the obstacles presented by the pandemic, L.A. Witch persevered, embarking on tours across the U.S. and Europe, rekindling connections with fans, and exploring new musical horizons. The upcoming album is a testament to their experiences, showcasing a fusion of inspirations and influences garnered throughout their travels and performances.
As they gear up for the release of DOGGOD and their upcoming tour, L.A. Witch continues to captivate audiences with their distinct indie rock sound. Their time in Paris has not only shaped their latest album but also provided a transformative experience that has influenced their artistic direction and creative output. With each new release, L.A. Witch reaffirms their status as a powerhouse in the indie music scene, captivating listeners with their unique blend of sounds and influences.
