Description: Witch house is an electronic music genre that emerged in the late 2000s, characterized by its dark, atmospheric sound and a blend of various musical influences. Here are some key features of witch house:
**Dark Aesthetic**: The genre often incorporates a haunting, eerie atmosphere, drawing inspiration from horror films, occult themes, and supernatural imagery.
**Slow Tempo**: Witch house tracks typically feature slower tempos, often around 60-90 BPM, contributing to a hypnotic and immersive listening experience.
**Heavy Use of Synths**: The music prominently features synthesizers, creating lush, layered sounds that evoke a sense of mystery and depth.
**Vocal Samples**: Vocals in witch house can range from ethereal and distorted to heavily processed samples. Often, they are used sparingly, adding to the overall ambiance rather than dominating the track.
**Influence of Other Genres**: Witch house blends elements from various styles, including chopped and screwed hip-hop, industrial, ambient, and shoegaze. This fusion creates a unique sound that sets it apart from other electronic genres.
**Visual Aesthetics**: The visual representation of witch house often includes dark, gothic imagery, with a penchant for symbols like triangles, occult references, and retro aesthetics.
**DIY Ethos**: Many witch house artists embrace a DIY approach to production and promotion, often using platforms like Bandcamp and social media to share their music.
Notable artists associated with the genre include Salem, oOoOO, and Crystal Castles. Witch house has carved out a niche within the broader electronic music landscape and continues to influence various artists today.
