Unmountable Stairs

• Track Listing

There are not enough bands like Witchrider. 'Unmountable Stair's is a beautiful amalgamation of straight laced, good time fuzz n' roll with darker, doom-tinted flavours haunting each and every one of these songs like the ghost of a restless soul. Instantly accessible and gratifyingly groovy yet understated and uncluttered, it doesn't try to be anything it isn't. Rather, this is unabashed fuzz heaven streamlined for success. Witch-Hunt' evokes Lullabies... era QOTSA with it's burrowing riff and sassy composure while album-closer 'Styx' is a simply irresistible long goodbye. With the fuzz temporarily toned back, it's bouncing rhythm and well-scattered intricacies - vocal 'ooh aahs,' and bittersweet, crying harmonies - it climaxes like fireworks at the chiming of midnight on a new year: Bright, colourful, breath-taking and commodious, it lights up the skyline with a innate sense of hope and promise for the future.
