Fetching Pails

Fetching Pails debut album, Telekinesis for Beginners, was created in a silo; with Jill Townsend writing, performing and recording the full batch of songs herself. With her next set of creations, she set out to expand her collaborative efforts. She formed a new, scaled down, live band with Dillon Smith (Faster Is Faster, Kannon) and Andrew Core and together they began assembling songs through performance, experimentation and group think. The new era of Fetching Pails had emerged.

“The Witching Hour” is the second release from the new trio setup of Fetching Pails consisting of Jill Townsend, Dillon Smith (Faster is Faster, Kannon) and Andrew Core. The new single showcases the band’s ability to embrace a vibrant mood by evoking an atmospheric and ethereal soundscape. The ominous synth sounds are pervasive but the track never drops the danceable beat. It’s an ode to the darkness that grips you from start to finish.
