Redrum Trades in Her Witchy Wubs and Brews a Spectacular Downtempo Potion on ‘Pisces Moon’ EP
The witching hour is upon us, as Redrum has brewed a perfect downtempo potion with her latest EP Pisces Moon, out now on Sskwaan.
Pisces Moon deviates from Redrum’s usual bass-driven sound in the best possible way. This EP utilizes organic FX and dancing toplines, creating an almost out-of-this-world feeling for the listener.
“Divine” is one of my favorite songs in Redrum’s entire discography. The song utilizes an organic-sounding melodic topline, almost reminiscent of a xylophone. The melody does behave similarly to percussion, as the topline and kick drum dance together in rhythmic harmony. The kick follows the same rhythmic pattern as the topline, giving the song an entrancing feel.
In rather stark contrast to “Divine,” “Dreamy” utilizes a trap-style percussive pattern and distorted, airy vocals as the main melody. With ethereal FX sprinkled in and a subdued yet persistent 808 pattern, this song fully encompasses the auditory spectrum, bringing the listener into Redrum’s world. This track is reminiscent of modern wave music, using sustained 808’s, lots of reverb, and trap-inspired percussion.
Her latest single “Floating” is another outstanding example of how Redrum can effectively switch up the flow in any of her tracks. “Floating” begins with effervescent, dreamy vocals and a slow halftime drum pattern. The second “drop” is where this tune truly shines. Redrum sets the percussion to double-time and introduces harmonic topline synths reminiscent of CloZee’s most recent album. For the song’s conclusion, these harmonic synths persist while the percussion is once again half-timed. This track takes the listener on a sonic journey of extraordinary proportions.
“Phases” was the first single from the EP, and is arguably the most experimental song on the EP. This track uses unique one-shot FX and synth stabs as a floating melody repeats throughout the track. The percussion pattern is incredibly unique, using many different percussive sounds in rhythm to drive the song forward.
Redrum has quickly become one of my favorite producers, and this EP feels like the emotional culmination of the hard work she has put into crafting her sound. This EP is an amazing fit on the Sskwaan label as well as it pushes the boundaries of what we know and expect when it comes to downtempo bass music. Keep your eyes peeled for more releases from her and for her name on many festival and show lineups to come.

16 Witchy Albums To Set The Vibe For Spooky Season
Halloween music can get really corny, really quickly. Past the age of 12 years old, no one really wants to dance along to the "Monster Mash" or the Ghostbusters theme song. All to say: Building a playlist to help you feel spooky for the whole season can seem like a daunting task.
To help with that, we created a list of aptly witchy albums across a variety of genres that will have you ready to light a candle and perform a seance by the time the final track comes to a close. From Florence & The Machine's Lungs to Solange's When I Come Home, ahead, 16 spellbinding albums to soundtrack your autumn.
Bobbie Gentry's The Delta Sweete Revisited - Mercury Rev
A gem from the past, Bobbie Gentry's wildly slept-on gothic country opera got a modern treatment thanks to all your favorite musicians earlier this year. Norah Jones, Phoebe Bridgers, and more turn this vintage record into a modern, witchy masterpiece.
1992 - Princess Nokia
Revisit "Brujas" alone if you need to be reminded that Princess Nokia has always been on her witchy shit.
Sink - Sudan Archives
Technically only an EP — you'll have to wait until November 1 to finally hear her debut album Athena — this solo singer-songwriter-violinist-producer (yes, all of the above) is a master of building puzzling worlds within each new song, redefining R&B with her pizzicato arrangements.
The Calling - Sevdaliza
A simple glance at the track list will prove that the EP is thematically on par for the season, but Sevdaliza's tight, warbling vibrato is what makes standout tracks like ballad "Soothsayer" and sci-fi-infused "Voodoov" so mesmerizing.
Take Me Apart - Kelela
If you don't want to let Kelela seduce and cast a spell on you, then we are very different people.
Lungs - Florence & The Machine
Any number of songs Florence Welch lends her hallowed vocals to could land on this list, but Lungs remains a sparkling, curious work — her peculiar and enchanting introduction to the world.
Juju - Siouxsie & The Banshees
If you don't let Juju soundtrack your party this year (and every year), I don't want to be there. It's the easiest go-to for the season without crossing the line into corny-spooky territory. "Trick or treat/ The bitter and the sweet" is arguably one of the best holiday-adjacent hooks of all time.
When I Come Home - Solange
NYLON beauty editor Tembe Denton-Hurst encapsulated this album in one perfect sentence: "It makes me feel like I can channel my ancestors." I couldn't really explain Solange's inherent witchiness better if I tried.
Rumors - Fleetwood Mac
Stevie Nicks, actual queen of the witches, needs no explanation for her inclusion on this list. If you're still not convinced you'll set the mood right with Fleetwood Mac's extensive catalogue, let Nicks' appearance on American Horror Storyremind you of a thing or two. Find your favorite drapey shawl, tease out your hair, and let Nicks take over.
Hounds of Love - Kate Bush
If you forgot that "Waking The Witch" is essential listening every single day of October, let this be a reminder; Bush's timbre sounds as if she's just beamed down from another planet entirely.
WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO? - Billie Eilish
Eilish's whispery voice lends itself perfectly to giving yourself goosebumps.
Masseducation - St. Vincent
Both the original and stripped-back versions of "Savior" have the same energy we're all desperately trying to achieve when putting on a pair of cat ears and vintage slip before heading out the door, but sorely missing.
(II) - Crystal Castles
Ricocheting between chaotic walls of noise, synth-laden club beats, and echoing melodies, Crystal Castles checks off everything on the list for creating the right mood to be enjoyed by witchcraft-beginners and haunting devotees alike.
Born To Die - Lana Del Rey
Let's face it, any one of Del Rey's albums could have wound up here; she's the summery witch we can't stop listening to all year long. Bonus song: Del Rey's cover of "Season of the Witch."
Forever Halloween - The Maine
All former pop-punk softies can attest to the lingering nostalgia for The Maine's earlier records, and it's easy to remember a fondness for Forever Halloween this time each year. With raspy ballads and classic frenetic rock songs, John O'Callaghan and company stretched out the romanticization of never growing up and Tim Burton-adjacent aesthetics into an entire era.
All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend - AURORA
Don't be fooled by her pixie-like falsetto, AURORA's fluttering melodies and knack for storytelling will have you in a trance long before the beat drops.

1. Emily - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to listen to the "Witch Queen" soundtrack, but I have to say, I was quite disappointed. The music felt repetitive and lacked originality. There weren't any standout tracks that caught my attention, and overall, it just didn't leave a lasting impression. I was hoping for a more atmospheric and haunting sound, but it fell flat for me.
2. Alex - 2/5 stars - As a fan of fantasy soundtracks, I was eager to give the "Witch Queen" soundtrack a listen. However, it didn't live up to my expectations. The compositions seemed generic and predictable, and I found myself bored halfway through. The lack of variation in the melodies and orchestrations made it feel monotonous. Overall, I was left unimpressed and wouldn't recommend it to fellow music enthusiasts.
3. Sarah - 3/5 stars - While the "Witch Queen" soundtrack had its moments, I found it to be underwhelming overall. Some tracks were beautifully composed and captured the essence of the fantasy setting, but there were others that fell short. The transitions between songs felt abrupt and disrupted the flow of the music. Additionally, I wished there was more variety in the instrument choices and arrangements. It's not a terrible soundtrack, but it didn't captivate me as much as I had hoped.
4. Michael - 1/5 stars - I was eagerly awaiting the release of the "Witch Queen" soundtrack, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. The music lacked depth and emotion, making it feel mundane and forgettable. The melodies were forgettable, and the overall composition felt rushed and uninspired. It's a shame because I had high hopes for this soundtrack, but it failed to deliver on all fronts. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for an immersive and captivating musical experience.
