Based in Orange County, California, Total Drag takes its main inspiration from early 90’s Shoegaze, sad movies and melancholy pop songs. Their first EP Redhead  plays out like the soundtrack to an early morning drive up the coast, combining the soaring guitars of Slowdive with the jangly melodies of Dream-Pop bands like Wild Nothing. The trio has been recording and performing as Total Drag since 2018, and is set to release their newest EP Hunny  in early 2020.

    "Just another daydreaming 90s baby making songs in her bedroom. I’ve always had a deep love and need for music, as well as an infinity for film Photography and Videography. In the past year I created Witch On Film as an alter ego for myself, as a way to channel all my creative passions into one project. My goal has always been to transport my listeners into a sweet dream world. In September (2019) I brought my vision into reality with my first album, Love And Hexes, which I wrote/recorded/released completely independently. I’m currently working on my second album, which I hope to release in 2020."

Her music has seen significant radio play across two BBC radio stations. Her soulful vocals and honest, poetical lyrics document candid tales of love gained, lost and the blissful wonder at everything in between. At 22 years old, she has been compared to the likes of Billie Eilish, Birdy and Lana Del Rey. Her Royal Opera House and English National Opera singer grandmother, Rita Chard, allowed for an early inauguration into the world of music, providing a vast abundance of inspiration spanning the musical genres. Playing the piano from the age of 6 bred an immense curiosity into the writing and creation of music and a steadfast devotion soon bloomed. Findia cites James Blake, PJ Harvey and Portishead amongst her main influences. With her biggest show to date being Islington's o2 Academy, she remains "overexcited" for what the future holds and will be releasing new music in 2020 after focusing on writing this summer in France.

The track highlights Litton's unique vocal treble over a deep, yet stimulating bass thump, creating a sound reminiscent of early and mid-90s Trip Hop.
