The Wytches announce third album with lead cut "A Love You'll Never Know"
The Wytches have announced their long-awaited third LP Three Mile Ditch, alongside unveiling new track "A Love You'll Never Know" as the lead single.
"A Love You'll Never Know" arrives after The Wytches' comeback single "Cowboy" that arrived last month, and is accompanied by a visual by the band's own Mark Breed.
He says of the video, "The music video format was a long process. Making the set was incredibly fun with Kristian crafting most of the miniatures. I then had to film the green screen band performance within the set before recording the edited version onto my VHS camera. Finally, I shot the finished edit inside the view finder."
Three Mile Ditch is The Wytches' first album in four years, following on from 2016's All Your Happy Life.
The group recorded their forthcoming LP with Luke Oldfield at Tile House Studios, and lead vocalist Kristian Bell says, "This is the first thing that I've ever been proud of for longer than a week."
Bell says of their decision to return to music, "I had it in my head that this kind of thing only really happens once and to try it again might be a big waste of time. We had an album’s worth of songs that was some of our best material. The mission became to complete a Wytches album rather than get The Wytches back on the touring circuit. This album helped us make the decision to try it again."
He adds of their forthcoming album, "Early on a few negative comments would be enough for me to disassociate from my own work. But you grow up and you mature. I never felt like I could stand behind what I was doing all that much but with this album I really can."
