A Scholar & A Physician – She’s A Witch

Coming on like a combination of Young Knives and Klaxons, A Scholar & A Physician’s title track is a high octane love ode to the Wicked Witch of The West it seems, with tongues firmly planted in electro-boy cheeks of course. A great single to usher in British Summer Time with from the Abingdon/London duo, who are also the production team behind a lot of the upcoming Chicks On Speed album.

Track two, ‘Not Normal’, is a shouty wee number that owes a little to Faith No More’s ‘Be Aggressive’ in the chorus department. The third track, ‘Shouldn’t Dwell’, nods meaningfully towards Air circa 10′000Hz Legend with its blissed out relaxed vocals over an increasingly strident backing track.

On the strength of these tunes I’d say they’re a good bet for meteoric rise over the summer months but have my doubts about future sustainability. Junior/Senior spring to mind in that respect.
