On the heels of their recent Marching Song 12" EP and first US tour (culminating in tonight's show at Brooklyn's Knitting Factory), Esben and the Witch will be releasing their debut full-length LP/CD/digital album on January 31, 2011 (February 8 in North America ).

Violet Cries is the haunting, powerful debut album from Brighton, England’s ESBEN AND THE WITCH, a trio composed of Rachel Davies, Daniel Copeman and Thomas Fisher playing an assortment of guitars, effects, keyboards and a single monumental tom-tom. Esben paint a thick palette of sound, with echoes of late Scott Walker and Nick Cave in the instrumentation, Flowers of Romance-era PiL and Gang Gang Dance in its tribal excursions, and female vocalists from Lisa Gerrard to PJ Harvey in Davies’s powerful voice.
