The Wytches - Three Mile Ditch (2020)

Whilst the album is bursting at the seams with hard rock screamers, with hooks and riffs so infectious they burrow deep into the brain, there's also other more nuanced elements at play. Bell's love of classic songwriting from Bob Dylan to Elliott Smith via Big Star's Alex Chilton can be heard reverberating throughout the record; the result is a blend between his honed and subtle knack for songcraft and crunchy, eruptive bursts of noise.
