Less catchy and poppy than Tove Lo. Lovely landscapes in videos.

The live clips sound very dark and goth; the studio song Helelyos (Iranian) less so, but fun rhythms. Described by press as psychedelic. EP out Sept 25th. Of the name Sexwitch, Natasha Khan says: "It came into my head because we were trying to look up beautiful Moroccan names, or names of stars or goddesses, but I thought, god, this is getting so fucking cliche, I can't deal with this. I just thought, let's just say what it is.

I"m a big BFL fan so I'll check it out. Also, I am INSANELY excited about the new Metric album. I've loved all the tracks so far. I hope Patty Griffin's is a home run for me this time. I never warmed to American Kid, and I was such a huge Patty fan for so long.
