Where L.A. Witch's self-titled album oozed with vibe and atmosphere, with the whole mix draped in reverb, sonically placing the band in some distant realm, broadcast across some unknown chasm of time, 'Play With Fire' comes crashing out of the gate. The band expands into new territories including touches of dustbowl folk, psychedelic breakdowns, and fire-and-brimstone organ lines. And from there, the band only gets more adventurous. 'Play With Fire' is a bold journey that retains L.A. Witch's siren-song mystique, nostalgic spirit, and contemporary cool.
