the black watch to issue "Witches!" on July 27th

NEWS

“I imagined Syd Barrett joining New Order with just the kick drum and the 808 state, or whatever it’s called, for the pulse," says  John Andrew Fredrick of the black watch about Witches! (July 27th, ATOM Records), his band's 16th (!) album in a prolific career spanning 30 years. Look out for lead single "Georgette, Georgette" coming soon. Hear current single "Oh You Little Witch" (from "The Paper Boats" EP) at PopMatters.

PREMIERE

Happy release day to the black watch! "The Paper Boats" EP is four songs that stand apart from a brand-new album already cooling on the rack for consumption later this year (news soon!) For now, give a listen to "Oh You Little Witch" over at PopMatters. Scribe Jedd Beaudoin says the song is "buoyed by a Manchester-style bassline, sparse but chiming, uplifting guitars and spacious drums that lift the song as much as John Andrew Fredrick's singular, charming vocal delivery."

the black watch to release "The Paper Boats EP" on April 27th

NEWS

Over the course of his long and varied career, John Andrew Fredrick has cumulatively released 25 albums, EPs, and books. His latest as the black watch, "The Paper Boats EP," is scheduled for April 27th.

The new EP was engineered by guitarist Andy Creighton (who fronts his own pop band, The World Record, and whose angular leads were featured on last year’s the black watch LP.) The songs were done quickly at Creighton’s shed in the obscure El Sereno district of Los Angeles, then sent for mixing to Scott Campbell’s (Shelby Lynne, Stevie Nicks, Acetone) state-of-the-art studio in Woodland Hills.
