Today, Witch Post unveil their new single ‘Twin Fawn’ as they embark on a tour across the UK and Europe. Spiriting their shared magic to life, the band will be headlining The Lexington in London on 10th November. Haunted by memory and dislocation, blending dreamlike nostalgia with sharp flashes of life and loss, the track contrasts the magnitude of their guitars with the intimacy of Alaska Reid and Dylan Fraser’s voices - like lovers whispering secrets to each other across a stadium.
It’s their second offering since the announcement of their signing to Partisan Records, where they join Geese, Blondshell and PJ Harvey. The enchanting ‘Changeling’ was the first track since their breakout debut EP B east , which announced the band as one of the most magnetic, fast-rising acts to emerge this year. Conjuring tilted worlds woven from tales of the strange and uncanny, Witch Post help us find a new understanding of the real.
Sharing their vision for ‘Twin Fawn’
Alaska shares: “ This song is about chasing memories, or yearning for a misremembered , simpler time. It’s a love letter to Dylan and I's differing experiences on the West Coast; coyotes, beach glass, driving home at 3 am, stuck on the freeway staring at the sunset ... As Witch Post, our memories become as fantastical and intertwined as twin fawns.
Witch Post is a Gemini-like meeting of minds that happened entirely by chance (or fate, if you prefer). In another stroke of coincidence, they discovered they are from towns which share the same name - one in Scotland, the other in Montana. Alaska's music is drawn from the dark atmospherics of the American indie scene, and Dylan's is pop but if it were warped by a house of mirrors.
