wych elm

About the artist

Bristol’s three-piece wych elm were formed back in 2017 when Caitlin Elliman and Jack Hitchins were attending college together. Throughout secondary school and college they found themselves sharing mutual interests such listening to Pixies and reading unusual literature. Together they create an atmosphere of Hitchins' feed-backing squalling guitars, heavy drum fills and punchy bass accompanied by Elliman’s haunting lyrics and howls. They conjure menacing and contemplative grungy indie rock with a touch of the macabre.
