Floating Witch's Head

In the simplest of terms, fans of psych-rock by way of Dead Moon, Black Lips, Guided By‬
‭ Voices, Osees, The Kinks, MJ Lenderman and The Schizophonics will find the overdriven‬
‭ guitars, organs, Moog bass lines and driving rhythms easy to love.‬

‭ At the heart of Floating Witch's Head is the songwriting of Travis Ward—also the frontman of the‬
‭ nearly 20-years active Hillfolk Noir. While Hillfolk Noir is very much a folk oriented affair, Floating‬
‭ Witch’s Head is a sweaty, gritty, tube-driven, garage-y milieu. Joined by Eric Gilbert on‬
‭ organs/synths and Michael Mitchell on drums, this is a band dedicated to the artistry of music‬
‭ and all the little things in a song that make it great.‬

‭ Ward’s open guitar tunings and overdriven amps lend themselves to a very heavy, psychedelic‬
‭ blues-oriented guitar. Gilbert on keys provides organ leads and soundscapes while providing‬
‭ perfectly punchy round basslines through his Moog synth. Then there’s Mitchell on the drums‬
‭ whose taste on the kit balances driving rhythms with laid back beats in all the right moments.‬
