MODERN WITCH - "HOLLYWOOD" (tut025) order at http://www.tutrur.com/tutrur_html/tut025.html

LP - black vinyl - 1 insert - limited edition of 260 copies

"The story of MODERN WITCH began 6 years ago in Denver, Colorado, when graphic artist Mario Zoots, singer Kristy Fenton and house veteran Kamran Khan started recording experimental music together on an old VHS camera. In the space of a few years, a couple of very limited tape and CD/R releases on labels such as Disaro and Clan Destine Records, and a series of spooky performances both in Europe and on the American continent, the trio has become a true underground reference for creepy, ritualistic dance music, in the muddy but oh so fascinating waters between Witchhouse and Minimal Synth. Treue um Treue is very proud to present a selection of their best tracks for the first time on vinyl, on two twin-LPs of which this is the first. Drunk on 80s cold wave, bathed in suburbian occult decadence and haunted by dead celebrities, “Hollywood” is a feast of thaumaturgic synth lines, nonchalant but captivating mpc 1000 – sequences, drugged-out spoken words and ghostly voices. American Angst or Minimal Doom electronics at their best!"

This song was originally written in Los Angeles during our first tour in 2008. We were preparing for our performance at Show Cave night gallery and we had the pleasure to meet the owner, Eric Nordhauser. We spent the day at Show Cave recording and writing with Eric, Keenan and Hazel of Show Cave fame. Eric had a Sequential Circuts Prophet 5 and a Korg Electribe that we used to make this track, the housey sequence was already programmed in his sequencer. Kristy wrote the lyrics on the spot and it was all live, all 8 minutes of it. We recorded the audio with a VHS camera mic that was set up in the back of the gallery. That was the version that appeared on our 'Disaro' release of 2010.This newer, cleaner version is produced by Strange Powers. We are planning to release this as our first solo 7".

This new clean studio version was produced by our friend in Denver, Strange Powers. We really like the way this studio version of In Your Eyes sounds and we have started a kickstarter to cover most of the cost of having the track mastered for vinyl and to produce 200 copies of a 7". The more money we raise the more copies we can make. Help us out if you can, here is the link to the kickstarter page http://kck.st/j6z1Uf

Update: We met our Kickstarter goal. Thank you. More updates really soon.

The story of MODERN WITCH began in 2007 in Denver, Colorado, when graphic artist Mario Zoots, singer Kristy Fenton and house veteran Kamran Khan started recording experimental music together on an old VHS camera. In the space of a few years, a couple of very limited tape and CD/R releases on labels such as Disaro and Clan Destine Records, and a series of spooky performances both in Europe and on the American continent, the trio has become a true underground reference for creepy, ritualistic dance music, in the muddy but oh so fascinating waters between DarkWave and Minimal Synth.
