There’s been some upheaval in All Them Witches since their last album, 2020’s Nothing As The Ideal. The following year, keyboard player Allan Van Cleave rejoined the band (he left in 2018), returning the line-up from a trio to a quartet. In 2024, drummer and founder member Robby Staebler departed under mysterious circumstances. “Very uncool shit was happening,” he later revealed, not revealing much.
Away from the HR department shenanigans, they released an album’s worth of material in 2022, a Baker’s Dozen of drip-fed tracks. Seemingly aimed at hard-core fans, it veered from a psychedelic, somewhat lascivious 12-minute cover of John Lee Hooker’s Blacksnake Blues to the frazzled jam of the 18-minute Acid Face, Television-meets-the Grateful Dead. Released as a limited-edition triple-vinyl set in 2023, copies are now available on Discogs for the best part of £1,000.
