Witching Hour Takes Back Her Power With “Queen of Wands”

Grab your hairbrush and enjoy a private karaoke sesh with Witching Hour’s new single, “Queen of Wands.” This is a sublime slice of punky power-pop in the vein of Paramore or Press Club. It deserves to be played loud and often.

“‘Queen Of Wands’ distills the precious, potent magic that comes from finally choosing yourself,” she said. “After experiencing one damaging relationship after another, I had at last let go of the desire I had to swiftly and effectively find the right person to spend my life with, and the tendency to contort the wrong people into that vision.

“Once I released my grip on that outcome and sat with the fear and uncertainty of not having control over that part of my future, I felt life and vibrance rush back to my body. I finally felt like my truest and most authentic, colourful self again. I was living alone in a wonderful apartment with my cat, I was taking myself out on dates, and it was such a restorative and special time in my life. I felt totally renewed, and the little haven I’d created for myself served as a kind of cocoon, fostering my transformation. The song is an ode to that apartment, and that revelation.”

Hell yeah sister!
