Having lived in Brighton up until last June, I’d heard quite a bit about seaside trio Esben and the Witch, but unfortunately had never managed to catch them live. I’d listened to a couple of their songs, however, and very much liked what I heard, so I was excited to see what their debut album was like, especially given the recent buzz that has been around them – they were nominated for a Q Next Big Thing award, as well as being included in the BBC’s Sound of 2011 poll.
The band take their name from a Danish fairy tale, and this is very fitting considering the gothic, almost dreamlike...Esben and the Witch – Violet Cries
