Los Angeles psychedelic punk band Frankie and the Witch Fingers have delivered their new single “Gutter Priestess” today.
To celebrate its release, Frankie and the Witch Fingers also unveiled an accompanying video game for the song. The band teamed up with FolksPat Media to release the game, which can be played here. Members of FolksPat Media previously worked on video games such as Rise to Glory VR, Dead by Daylight, and Lord of the Rings: War in the North.
Vocalist Dylan Sizemore said this about the new song:
“‘Gutter Priestess’ felt filthy from the get. I was hooked up to Burroughs and his junk-sick energy, romanticizing my own bad decisions and dark thoughts, cutting up lyrics, letting meaning rearrange itself. The whole thing turned into a brown, sharded nightmare but with a seductive dancey pulse.
When we went to record it, everyone leaned into the crust. The parts feel barbed and sharp - like they crawled out of a drainpipe with glass in their gums. Hopefully the lighter synth lines in the chorus add a sugary sweetness to all the rot and decay.”
“Gutter Priestess” is the last single released from the forthcoming album Trash Classic, which will be released on June 6, 2025 via The Reverberation Appreciation Society / Greenway Records. Pre-orders for the album can be made here.
Frankie and the Witch Fingers will be on tour across North America in support of the record this summer following their current trek across Europe. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
