there is a long long way to the top…
“Raven Town Witch” is their 5th full-length release. It was recorded in
Kevin Ratterman’s funeral home (Louisville, KY) following past releases
on BlackVelvetFuckere, Sophomore Lounge, Karate Body, and Knitting
Factory (in addition to “The Mindeater,” a collaborative EP performed
and recorded with Bonnie “Prince” Billy).
“Phantom Family Halo’s “Raven Town Witch” is a slinky and sinister
Southern Gothic brew evoking early glam, psychedelia ala Krautrockers
Brainticket, hand claps reminiscent of ’60′s girl groups, Roxy Music’s
“In Every Dream Home a Heartache,” and yet somehow manages to remain
unpredictably timeless. The perfect record for the party after the after
party or a raucous late night ritual in celebration of your inner
witch.” – Lydia Lunch
