Rising from Los Angeles’ ever-fertile shadow circuit, Hemwick Witch step forward with Partners, their first single and accompanying video following the quiet but promising arrival of their debut EP. New goth hopefuls, the duo already carry themselves with the confidence of a band fully aligned with the current darkwave pulse.
Composed of songwriter and vocalist Maeby alongside bassist and producer Sue, Hemwick Witch channel a post punk sensibility that feels immediate.
Partners delves into the unsettling truth that deeper intimacy can sharpen feelings of loss and alienation. The track’s emotional weight hits with a stark directness, and a kind of darkness that's sharp and lucid.
