“Spellbound” is a song recorded by English rock band Siouxsie & the Banshees in 1981. The track was written by the Banshees and co-produced with Nigel Gray. It was the first single released from the Banshees’ fourth album Juju.

“Spellbound” is most notable for the strong drumming rhythm that carries the song, courtesy of Budgie, who had recently joined the band as their new percussionist. The single peaked at number twenty-two on the UK singles chart in 1981. The 12-inch extended version of the song appeared on compact disc for the first time when it was included on the bonus disc of the 2003 retrospective The Best of Siouxsie & the Banshees.

This is one of the best tracks from one of the best Banshees albums. They were no longer punk by this time and well beyond the limited confines of so-called goth rock. Quite brilliant.

Hah. Kind of reminds me of Bel Canto, particularly the song Spiderdust.
