The Crimea - Secrets of the Witching Hour

The Crimea is an indie band comprised of musicians from Wales, Ireland, and Zimabwe. They are offering a free online album of passionate rock.

From the first sound of guitars and vocals off the opening track “All Conquering”, it is evident that The Smashing Pumpkins and Billy Gorgan stands as a primary influence. But there is also some very nice indie pop lyricism a la Arcade Fire and Neutral Milk Hotel. Vocalist and guitarist Davey MacManus is central to the group with his very personal lyrics and intimate voice. I like the slower songs like “Raining Planets” but rockers like “Light Brigade” will also capture your ears. Another favorite is the gorgeously thoughtful “Several Thousand Years of Talking Nonsense”. This is a band well worth checking out.

The album is available in 128kbps MP3. If you enjoy the music, support the artists by buying their CDs.
