  1. 10.0 |   The Arts Desk

    God knows what they got up to in the studio, because each song sounds like musicians foregoing ego in pursuit of something way more than just a sound

  2. 10.0 |   God Is In The TV

    Drowning in its pool of exhausting and sensory psychedelic liquid makes it easy to forget that this is only six-tracks long
    Read Review

  3. 9.0 |   Gig Soup

    Natasha Khan has created something truly original with SEXWITCH, helped by psych revivalists TOY, and Dan Carey
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   NOW

    These six songs sound like Khan and Carey cutting loose, unburdened by pesky things like precision and song structure

  5. 8.0 |   The FT

    Their impressive debut has an other-worldly feel to it
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    A record unlike anything else you will hear this year
    Read Review

  7. 8.0 |   Under The Radar

    For all its groove, for all its brilliance, the most impressive thing about SEXWITCH is just how essential its contents continue to sound
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    There’s certainly a powerful femininity – and sensuality – to these tracks, which stimulate the head, the feet and the emotions simultaneously
    Read Review

  9. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    There are two things you need to know about Sexwitch: it's great, and it's definitely not a new Bat for Lashes album

  10. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    What could have been a self-indulgent curiosity becomes yet another treasure chest waiting to be flung open amidst 2015's plentiful trove
    Read Review

  11. 8.0 |   Q

    What's really liberating about these songs is the sense of Khan letting go. Print edition only

  12. 8.0 |   The 405

    There's a palpable affection for the source material, a genuine love of the record's psychedelic foundations and a general sense of supreme confidence that renders it a resounding success
    Read Review

  13. 7.5 |   Consequence Of Sound

    It’s fun, it’s mysterious, it’s committed to its concept, and it could be the album of the Halloween season
    Read Review

  14. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    With SEXWITCH Natasha Khan toes a fine, nigh imperceptible, line between the divine and the demonic
    Read Review

  15. 7.2 |   Earbuddy

    The songs behind SEXWITCH conjure a spooky sexiness that creeps up your spine and seduces the brain
    Read Review

  16. 7.0 |   Spin

    What’s most interesting here is Khan’s voice, completely uninhibited and animalistic in its moans and screams
    Read Review

  17. 7.0 |   Clash

    It's bonkers and wild, but don't get it twisted - these witches "won't let anyone come between them"
    Read Review

  18. 6.4 |   Pitchfork

    Occasionally, they feel overlong. Repetition is key to this music, but after several cycles, tracks begin to plod, broken up only by Khan's vocal work
    Read Review

  19. 6.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    It may just be a footnote in the careers of its collaborators, but it may well draw Bat for Lashes and Toy fans to seek out the record’s sources
