Witch Hats are one of those Australian bands that operate in the grey zone between the invisible underground and the marketing hype of the Triple J world. Possessing a post punk/90s indie guitar mood they follow the broken glass strewn path trod and beaten by their next of kin like The Scientists, Birthday Party, Jesus Lizard and more recently the drama pop of The Veils. Following 2009’s Solarium Down The Causeway mini-album/EP that we described in our review as “Discordant slashing rock n roll, knife-edge schizo punk, swirling, staggering hipster garage rock…” they now bring us Pleasure Syndrome – a much more considered and sonically embrace of a record in terms of the music’s abrasion and the album’s production. You can stream the whole thing below or head over to their Bandcamp page to order it on vinyl with free AU shipping.
