The band comment: "‘icecreamwitch’ is the fourth tasty treat from the up and coming album ‘notverynicecream’. The first taste of pace from the record, the track aims to take you on a sugary sweet insanity ride through twisted & demented guitar lines, tongue in cheek lyrical sprinkles, whilst intense and ever evolving rhythms rattle your frozen brain.

"Paired with a ‘Hateful Eight’ inspired video directed by Kieran Gallop & James Harris, the gang of rogue cowboys discover they’ve bitten off more than they can chew hunting for the infamous ‘icecreamwitch’ as she sends them all one by one into icy graves."

'icecreamwitch' follows the band's previous singles, 'apples', 'sungazer' and 'thesaddestsongever'.

notverynicecream is another staggering release from one of the UK's most inventive and unusual bands. Eclectic, irreverent, titanically heavy and saturated throughout with a signature sense of British whimsy, the album will only see Phoxjaw's star rising further.

Written in various states of lockdown, notverynicecream is a glimpse into Phoxjaw's future mindset. A sugar-sweet sense of abandon covers darker feelings of loneliness, depression, and isolation. Where the band's debut album, Royal Swan, was a record of nationally-expressed extroversion, notverynicecream is Phoxjaw's declaration of introversion. Nihilism, nostalgia and suffering served in a sugary cone; progressive, punishing sonics glossed over with lustrous hyper-pop influences.

notverynicecream follows a busy period for the Bristolian oddballs - the group made their debut Download appearance in 2022, performed two magnificent sets at 2000trees, and have shortly returned from a sell-out tour with Norwegian deathpop group Blood Command, as well as their debut performance at Germany's Reeperbahn Festival.

Phoxjaw are:

Danny Garland - vocals/bass
Josh Gallop - guitar/keys
Kieran Gallop - drums
Alexander Share - guitar/vocals
