The Witch Hazel Sound is the brainchild of Kent, Ohio based producer and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Coral, a self-confessed music junkie with a twin passion for production and rare obscure vinyl. The band have released three acclaimed albums to date, the latest "This World, then the fireworks..." has just been re-issued by French label, Euro Visions (http://www.euro-visions.net/). As well as carving out gorgeous teenage symphonies to God for the WHS, Kevin has done a bit of moonlighting in the shape of production duties for a stack of projects all over the world including, the likes of Swedish indie pop favourites, Club 8; California indie pop queen, Laura Watling; US psych pop band, The New Planet Trampoline; French artist, Jean-Emmanuel Deluxe and is about to work with 70's UK pop obscurity, John Howard as well as April March, French genius Bertrand Burgalat and Indie Pop legend, Orange Cake Mix
WHS: Please have a listen to my new song, “Consideration” in the mighty MySpace player. It features me and that perfect percussive palooka, Anthony Allen of Washington, D.C. Not a real mix, but pretty much finished. It will appear on my next album, Smellicopter, in 2010/2011. Please “subscribe” to me if you haven’t already. You need to be in the loop, right?
WHS: I hope you don't mind the plug. My download album, "A Song for Me, A Song for You" is finally available as a compact disc. Fifteen songs of pop glory in the grand tradition. Available direct from me.
When Landlocked came out, I worked in a record store, and my coworkers grew very tired of me playing it endlessly. It was, and still is, one of my favorite records. Unlike so many bands, you just got better over time. I'm glad you're here.
