‘Not Coming Down’ is the hypnotic second single to be released from Githead’s latest album Waiting for a Sign released last month.

This alluring bass led track builds on minimalist ideas, adding layers of effects drenched guitars over a repeating bass line, gradually introducing the dreamy vocals of Malka Spigel after one minute and 50 seconds. The guitar sounds wonderfully psychedelic adding to the broody post punk ambiance of the track.

‘Not Coming Down’ is an almost entirely instrumental track, substituting – for the most part – vocals for mesmerising, repetitive guitar ideas. Acting as the opener to Waiting for a Sign, it sets listeners up for an intriguing and moody record.
