Esben and the Witch announce second album on Matador, share song, tour dates

The Brighton trio will release Wash the Sins Not Only The Face in 2013.

Esben and the Witch, whose self-styled brand of “nightmare pop” is a goth-tinged blend of folk and pop, have announced their follow-up to 2011’s Violet Cries. Wash the Sins Not Only The Face takes its name from a Greek palindromic phrase, in the same way that the band’s name is derived from a Danish fairy tale.

The band’s second album on Matador is due out on January 21, 2013. Until then, stream ‘Deathwaltz,’ a more immediate, percussive song than their shoegazey debut. The album art and the band’s European tour dates follow.

07 Feb Birmingham – Hare & Hounds
