Closet Witch has a new song/music video premiere goin’ down over at Not Just A Phase! Click on the picture above or this text to go there. It features Frankie Furillo of The Central and it kicks most serious ass. Video by Jeff Carl @_this.jeff.

Mollie (vocals/lyrics) had this to say about it:
It was really cool to have two long time friends collaborate for those tracks...Frankie did vocals on the second and he's just been one of my favorite people for some time now. And then to have Jeff make a video was super cool, too, as I've known him for most of my time living in Iowa and he's just a creative individual who marches to the beat of his own drum. Both an honor to have involved. Lyrically the songs are along my usual lines, borderline story telling mixed with journalistic emotional release ...Topics relating to personal traumas that I'm sure many can in some way relate to, unfortunately, and that a lot of us find shame inducing to lament on or even bring up but cause indefinite ache in how hard they are to overcome on our own.

Full release is November 3rd, 2023 via Zegema Beach, Moment Of Collapse, Circus Of The Macabre, and Sassbolgna Records. 12"LP pre-order from Zegema Beach Records:

Operation X-Ray continues killin’ it, this time playing jams from New Forms and Vibora, but I also highly recommend Flooding and Wednesday which were also played.
