Today Esben & The Witch share the latest single ‘A Kaleidoscope’ from their stunning new album, ‘Hold Sacred’ out tomorrow on Nostromo Records.

The hazy, psychedelic warmth of summer. The vivid colours of the meadows and the thrum of activity within.” The song describes a rebirth – finding peace in the beauty of change and growth
