"Burn The Witch" is the new single recently released from British rock band Radiohead. The song's power comes from the ultimate crescendo of strings the song slowly builds its foundation from. The music takes different twists and turns throughout but the overt change in tempo and volume causes an abundance of anxiety that lingers throughout the track. The haunting vocals from Thom Yorke over the stunningly chilling strings accent in a way that fills the gaps in between ever so delicately.
The overall feel of the track is very dark, but the reason I love Radiohead so much is the fact that they treat their songs with a lot of care and you have to magnify each and every layer to come up with a meaning that makes sense to you. The band wanted to raise awareness of the European refugee crisis and all of the negativity surrounding that situation. Either way, the song garnered the attention of the masses and if this is what to be expected from Radiohead's next project, we certainly have a lot to look forward to.
Rating: 9.2/10
