One Day Deal The Wytches – All Your Happy Life

The Wytches release their second album, All Your Happy Life onHeavenly Recordings. Recorded by Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave and The BadSeeds / Grinderman) in Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire and then Toe Ragin East London with Luke Oldfield, and mixed by Sclavunos and MikeyYoung. The Wytches second album All Your Happy Life draws on a lifetime’s worth of new experiences shoehorned into two whirlwind years since their acclaimed debut album Annabel Dream Reader. There’s no difficult second album syndrome here. This black-hearted setis a combination of heavy comedown psychedelia and bilious andbrilliant baroque ‘n’ roll. It’s portentous and scathing. Scabrous andbold. Utterly nihilistic. Influences and inspiration is drawn fromunexpected places – reading Tolstoy’s stories of dysfunctionalrelationships on the tour bus, digging the warm Hammond-and-acoustictones of Elliot Smith, loads of underground metal band – but mainly itis informed by observing small town English life with new eyes, havingtraversed the planet on that first wave of success that followed their2014 debut. It’s not so much the sound of the calm after the storm, butthe howling vortex that follows in its wake. All Your Happy Lifemarks a creative leap for The Wytches. Some might say it is the sound ofa band finding their place in the world but really it is about worldbeing allowed to enter the sphere of The Wytches – on their terms.
