Blair Wxtch – “DIG UP YOUR GRAVE”

/

A resonating success from New York-based artist Blair Wxtch, “DIG UP YOUR GRAVE” balances nocturnal synth/guitar interplay with jubilant vocal hooks — proclaiming “1999!” amidst suave guitar adornments and bouncy synth pulsations.

Described as “camp meets haus meets horror meets reinvention,” the track is one of many highlights on Blair Wxtch’s new album, Chasing the Dragon, steaming below. Funky guitar licks approach the two-minute turn with enjoyable intrigue, as the escalating vocals culminate in a title-touting suaveness and a final year-laden exclamation. “DIG UP YOUR GRAVE” is stylish standout from the artist, who ably infuses a love for horror films within inventive pop productions.

This and other tracks featured this month can be streamed on the updating Obscure Sound’s ‘Emerging Singles’ Spotify playlist.
