Scottish heroes the Jesus And Mary Chain are one of the greatest alt-rock bands of all time, and they helped establish a very particular type of rock guitar — a feedback-drenched wounded-romantic blare that has inspired a great many imitators and iterators. Jim and William Reid, the two brothers at the heart of the band, have some strong opinions about rock guitar — opinions like shoegaze “doesn’t actually exist” and Eddie Van Halen “ruined rock guitar.”

Tropic Gold have kicked off a new chapter with a new label, BLKIIBLK, in some style with a crushing new track.

Titled ‘WITCH HOUSE’, it is a caustic blend of spiralling synths and punishing metalcore riffs, meeting in the middle at a point of delicious carnage. Throw in a guest appearance from HARPY, who snakes her caramel tones all over the chorus before letting out some bellowing howls. It is a heady and harsh combination of talents.

Brimming with darkness but undeniably catchy and addictive, it’s going to stick to you like tar. So, sit back and enjoy the ride.

The band had this to say about the tune:

“Witch House explores the all encompassing parasite of an external force consuming and trapping its victim. This force is experienced in many forms, Witch House addresses the relationship and connection between two people, one being the trapped, feeling they’re within a hex they cannot break.”

The band are set to hit the road for a co-headline tour with Banks Arcade later this month. Here are all the dates:
