Originally from Tresco on the Isles of Scilly, recently relocated to Richmond, Surrey, Jon Othello and Elle Flores compose the psychedelic-based post punk/darkwave act West Wickhams whose newest EP Consider Her Way is out through Golden Believers Records.
The EP's title track's uncanny visual fits the music's beautiful strangeness, as the pair delivers a rather strong and eccentric take on post punk and coldwave.
Consider Her Way is built on an inventive premise and is completely captivating throughout.
According to the narrative: :"Jane, a woman from the present day, has taken a drug, thought to induce out-of-body experiences. She wakes up not as herself, but in a body unknown to her. Initially she has amnesia. She has mentally time travelled into the future. Society is in this time is made up only of women. Jane's initial contacts have not even heard of men; they believe her to be mad."
