Year Of The Witch was born in transit. In the interest of self-sufficiency, HXXS - aka Jeannie Colleene and Gavin Neves - initially recorded their debut album during a six month tour spent living out of their van. When inspiration struck (and it did so often), they'd record in parking lots, hotel rooms, laundromats- anywhere they happened to pull over. What emerged from these pit stops, strangely enough, was an album about moving forward. As with much of the art created in the wake of the 2016 presidential election, Year Of The Witch sizzles with the fresh sting of political anguish. Instead of firing off platitudes about a nation divided, however, Neves and Colleene choose to look inward at how this divide affects familial relationships. On "Hard To Tell," the duo sing, 'it runs in the family, and they spread it all over, like forest to fire'. Like the California wildfires that were a fixture of their childhood - Neves is from San Jose and Colleene hails from Bakersfield - beliefs are inherited passively, and have equal capacity for destruction. And while the political climate of the time is a palpable force, the album remains anchored, always, in the personal. "I'm not asking for sympathy," they sing-with the help of TV On The Radio's Kyp Malone-"cut loose these ties." Year Of The Witch finds HXXS rifling through the ashes, working to salvage the roots. The concept of rebirth isn't just a theme on the album, however, it's also part of the process that created it. Back in 2017, after their initial roadside recordings were complete, the hard drive containing them was stolen. HXXS were forced to re-record the entire LP on a time crunch, largely from memory. But necessity bred invention, and this loss created a sense of sonic urgency that only strengthens the tracks. The result is a sonic roadmap to resilience: electronic noise punk for the fake news generation. Built on haunting loops and frantic, insistent vocals, YOTW navigates uneasiness with razor-sharp precision. There is anger, to be sure, but it's never without purpose. Perhaps Colleene sums it up best when she sings, "if you want to burn the witch, you'll need more than a flame."

Buyer beware
Size: 8, Color: Pastel Pack
Got these and tried on one pair cause seriously who tries on all 10 pairs when they buy underwear. They fit good a little loose but I figure they will shrink a little in the dryer. So as the label states wash before wearing I washed them all. Well then I go to put a pair on and they are way to small and I'm thinking there is no way they shrunk that much in the dryer which was on low setting. So I try on a different color one on and they fit fine. So now I'm trying more on and same thing some are good, some are small and some are big. What the heck they all say the same size inside. So this is clearly a manufacturing defect issue so I reach out to the seller. Well after going back and forth they only want to give me 30% of my purchase price back due to me having washed them and now they can't resell them. Well from where I'm sitting you shouldn't be trying to resell them anyway because they aren't even the same size. I don't usually leave bad reviews but after having read so many good ones on here and that being the reason why I bought them I figure people should be aware that they to may have the issue. So try them all on before washing.

These are fantastic and soft in delicate areas. I don't know why I resisted so long. Only underwear I will wear now.

The cutest backpack!
Size: One Size, Color: Lilac Ditsy Floral
I was worried maybe this backpack wouldn’t last us the school year. I was pleasantly surprised as we are nearing the end of the year. It’s the most adorable pink and purple bag! It is on the smaller side but we’ve still been able to fit a normal sized folder in it plus her extra clothes and snacks with some room still.

VERY NICE BUT TOO BIG
Size: One Size, Color: Lilac Ditsy Floral
Let me start by saying its a great product and looked to be made very well. I did have to return it though because it was far too big for my child. Other than size being 1 size fits all with no dimensions given and, yes, somewhat smaller than other backpacks (for adults) it seemed to be a decent backpack. Too bad we couldn't use it but if you have a older kid would would great for.
