Jun 24, 2014 Esben and the Witch By Mike Hilleary

Ominous UK trio Esben and the Witch have announced the upcoming release of their third full-length album A New Nature. Due out of the band’s own label, Nostromo Records, the forthcoming LP will see release in the UK on Sept. 1 with an as-of-yet announced U.S. date likely to occur soon after. In a press release the band says, “We wanted to create a record that had a level of purity to it. To strip away the layers and loops and see what lay beneath. To keep things naked, unadorned and raw. The three of us, in a room, making noise. We looked to create a more primal record, full of human emotion and sonic intensity. Drawing on themes of endurance, strength, determination and self-actualisation. Themes that have always inspired us but perhaps, only now, a few years down the line, a few years of touring under our belts, we feel we have the confidence and maturity to explore and shout about.”

Ahead of the album’s coming due date, the band has shared the included cut “Blood Teachings.” Scroll down to listen to the song, as well as view the album’s full tracklist.
