Cheatahs share ‘Witch’s Mirror’ mixtape
Half-hour mix collates offcuts from the ‘Mythologies’ sessions
Cheatahs have rounded up all the bits and bobs that didn’t make their ‘Mythologies’ album, out this October, into a new mixtape, ‘Witch’s Mirror’.
Speaking of the new mix, the band said: “‘Witch’s Mirror’ is a sound collage made up of material that we recorded during the ‘Mythologies’ album session (which, despite all really liking it, we couldn’t quite fit onto the record), field recordings, and a few ideas we recorded in the last couple of weeks. The abstract nature of mix tapes means they offer a different listening experience, and ‘Witch’s Mirror’ has a liminal feel that appeals to us a lot; ideas and songs ebb and flow, rising up briefly before sinking back down into the primordial soup.”
‘Mythologies’ is coming out via Wichita on 30th October, and the band are set to tour the album in the UK in November, following US dates set for October. A one-off date at London’s XOYO is also set for January.
