Recorded, mixed and mastered by Marvin Costa at Electric Hill Studio in Petrópolis-RJ, Brazil, the EP »Evil Witch« is the second and newest release by the Brazilian heavy/stoner rock band Mushgroove. Released in October 2024, the EP was digitally distributed through the Abraxas Records label.
»Evil Witch« records the moment in which the band reaches its creative peak since its formation, in 2021. The newest EP maintains the essence present in its debut, but bringing an even heavier sound and proposing reflections of a philosophical nature, such as the finiteness of all things, the human restlessness and your incessant search for the hidden. Seeking balance between deep reflections, psychedelia and a visceral instrumental, the album invites the listeners to look at themselves, allow themselves to feel their pain and join this insane journey through space and time.

The central idea of the art for the EP’s cover was brought by Vinicius Crivellari, the band’s guitarist, and the concepts were developed together with the other members, Gabriel Leme (bass and vocals) and Matheus Roma (drums). The forest, dense and obscure, represents the mystery that the listener is about to unravel. The serpent following its own tail represents the endless cycle of life and death that all beings go through, while the eye represents the search for consciousness and knowledge of all things. There was a simultaneous convergence between the cover creation process and the choice and organization of the tracks. The enigmatic aesthetic achieved from these elements illustrates very well the compositions present in this EP.
Mushgroove is:
Gabriel Leme – Bass and Vocals
Vinicius Crivellari – Guitar and Vocals
