What is
Witch
House?
As its name suggests, witch house music is a microgenre spawned from the expansive electronic genre that focuses on predominantly discordant chopped and screwed downtempo droning. The microgenre takes samples of Foley used in construction, industry, and the atmosphere to create ethereal and supernatural sounding melodies. Synthesizers, interesting instruments, and distorted vocals are also used in order to create music that breaks the boundaries of what music is traditionally known for.
Who are the
Players of
Witch House?
Like most microgenres, certain artists emerge as the poster bands that allow new fans to learn their work and develop a cult following that attracts their audiences to the genre as a whole. Blvck Ceiling are a trendsetting band in the witch house genre, who use imagery related to the occult and soundscapes that make the listener think to eschew the experimental aspects of the microgenre. Moreover, Salem, aptly named for the Massachusetts witch trials, are also a pioneering band of the genre. As many witch house artists release remixes of other songs, identifying new bands in the genre can be done in a natural way, via discovering a new form of music built around an old favorite song.
