1963 is the year in which manga first appeared on Japanese TV screens and CIA first created a “Domestic Operations Division” to spy on US citizens, and here in the UK we had the Great Train Robbery. It was a big year for everything from US-Soviet relations to the civil rights movement with both Martin Luther King and Malcolm X making speeches that defined their careers. It is also the name of an electronic soul producer.
1963 seems to be coming from an angle that leans on both witch house, but has a gentler, ambient heart.
