Witch's Wall move memories on Sensation, the 3rd and final single from the Alabama band's self titled debut album (out now). The song percolates on chill, yet sprite sounds and as David Smith sings in fluid understated ways, the song shifts in tones and time signatures. Dreamy lead guitar, even dreamier keys, bending guitar rhythms, and nimble bass and drums all coated with an experimental / proto punk patina.
Witch's Wall is David Smith, Benjamin Giles, Matt Perkins, Brandon Lett, & Dylan Corker.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:
Witch’s Wall crafts a seamless brew of dreamy indie pop and psychedelia-shaded experimental rock. Beginning in northeast Alabama, lead songwriter David Smith was raised in a large family of music enthusiasts. Upon discovering 311 in middle school, and Radiohead in high school, Smith shifted focus to music before relocating to Birmingham. As his tastes changed, so did his songwriting style, and by his twenties Smith was drawing from a deeper well of artistic influence, citing artists like Grizzly Bear, Luke Temple, and Canadian singer-songwriter Andy Shauf as inspirations. After meeting Benjamin Giles (guitar), the pair played in a series of bands before uniting with schoolmates Matthew Perkins (bass) and Brandon Lett (drums) as KYLE. They studied by day, and by evening, they refined their skills on-stage and in Lett’s makeshift home studio. Now aided by Smith’s cousin Dylan Corker (keys), the band began cementing their panoramic indie rock stylings. With a new name and a new focus, Witch’s Wall finished their self- titled full-length debut for Birmingham’s Cornelius Chapel records in 2019.
