Kitchen Witch - Rosemary


I love the image of a Kitchen Witch. I promise I’ll try not to overuse the metaphor, but kitchens, food, and cookery are a central part of pretty much every expression of religion and spirituality across the world and throughout time. This includes, of course, one of the most beloved of stoner-doom genre tropes, the witch.
This particular quartet of South Australian witches consists of Georgie Cosson – Vocals, Conor Kinsella – Guitars, Simon Elliott – Bass, and John Russo – Drums. They’ve been delivering their hoodoo blues brews since 2013, and Earth And Ether is full-length number two. I caught a show in Melbourne last year, and was mighty impressed with the Janis vibes on display. The band’s bio agrees with me, name-checking John Lee Hooker, Kyuss and Janis Joplin.  From: https://thesleepingshaman.com/reviews/kitchen-witch-earth-ether/
