"Witch House" is the dumbest fucking musical term for electronica I have ever heard and I've been writing music reviews since I was in my diapers. I'm now 30, and I'm still in diapers, mainly because of recurring bowel problem, and you know...I still have more dignity than the term "Witch House".
I prefer rapegaze to witch house.
This isn't really witch house anyway, it sounds like downtempo IDM. Not droning or sludgy enough. It's very important that we're able to use all of the subsets of bullshit underground electronica properly.

@Anne: Have you tried out Meth Lab? It's kind of like a derivative of Dilapidated Cottage. I'm pretty sure it's breakaway genre of the Austrian-based Weekend Retreat.

Yeah, yeah, witch house is a stupid genre name, just like all the other stupid genres coined by journalists and review writers Stevil. People thought dub was dumb, now there's dub step and i don't know what the fuck that is because I used to think it was Burial which is pretty minimal, now everything is called dubstep that has loud obnoxious tones and a wonky rhythm (and I loved Aphex Twin back in the day). Incidentally Demdike Stare were coined as witch house and they are excellent, minimal, droney, intelligent- really great use of ethnic samples and sounds from old hammer films (I think the witch came from that) I guess it's kind of influenced by dub, industrial and house if anything. I'm a musician and I've been called some pretty ridiculous things in reviews -

I like music I can dance and sing to. Fuck genres that are stupidly specific. All those genre names are DOO DOO, BABY! Dylan rapper of the year. I'm out!
The thing about witch house,is that it is a very new thing emerging. And sometimes it's hard to classify what is and what isn't. The name half makes sense because witch house culture mainly revolves around witchcraft, satanism, sex, taboo, etc. There are many terrible witch house artists because people don't know what it is they are doing. There are a bunch of stoner crackhead dickheads that give witch house a distorted view. When the good artists are talented in making very slow, drag electronica. I personally love good witch house, and this album rules for the most part.
Agreed. The thing with rock music is it invites many different sub cultures and types of people - hair metal , grunge , alt rock , goth. Electronic music has mainly been defined by club music and idm , with not a hell of alot of
Genre description , you can't blame artists for looking to different influences to express themselves outside the narrow genre of electronica

Also don't know where crack smoking comes from . Amy winehouse was a crack smoker and she was a pop star. I couldn't produce electronic music if I smoked crack- it's bloody time consuming and you have to have alot of patience, it certainly isn't four to the floor techno.
Well I don't know about SALEM because they mostly just sound like an industrial band or one of Alec Empires side projects. Either way, it's just one band. Definitely in Britain it's not like that at all.
People go mental when the press generalise gamers as fat, reclusive losers who potentially fantasize about gunning down their work colleagues, and there's probably only a couple like that :-D

I don't understand the Sonic 2 remix. ("Sonic And His Unicorn) I am a HUGE fan of classic Sonic music and can pick out ANY song from the first second of it. But for the life of me I cannot figure what this song is supposed to be remixing.
the only thing that makes something witchhaus is it's visual components. this is just ambient/downtempo electronic music, and some rad stuff too
