Witcha - EP I

"EP I" is the debut release from South Korean darksynth producer C. Hun Jang under his new alias Witcha. Previously exploring the world of droning and shoegazing ambient under the variant of his real name, Witcha's new EP is an excursion into much darker and more melodic territories. Released by his own label Lilies In Water it runs at just under 18 minutes across its five tracks, ranging from dark synthwave (opener "Darkdream") and witchhouse-inspired electro ("Charade") to retro-futuristic soundscapes and pulsating beats on "Saint" and "Prey". The outro "She Kills" is an exception here - a droning soundscape with delayed vocals lurking somewhere in the back. Fans of the French synth scene (Carpenter Brut or Perturbator) should check this one out for sure.
