Written after the 7/7 bombings and the terrorist attacks of September 11th, the lyrics of this song make a statement about the media’s ability to control the public through scare-mongering tactics. Opening with an electronic introduction, ‘Hunting for Witches’ showcases a high-register riff and a catchy post-punk vibe. Shaking up the Indie Rock scene at the time of its release, this track earned Bloc Party a spell as NME’s favourite new band.
