🎧 Approved: Witch Post

Witch Post is a collaboration between Alaska Reid and Dylan Fraser, two artists who, by chance, both come from towns named Livingston - one in Montana, the other in Scotland. Their music feels like that same kind of coincidence: a meeting of different worlds that somehow makes perfect sense.

Reid’s songwriting is steeped in the moody landscapes of American indie, while Fraser’s pop instincts bend and distort like a reflection in warped glass.

Their new single, ‘Dreaming’, captures this push and pull: light and dark, sharp and soft, melody tangled up in noise. There’s a restlessness in their sound, something both familiar and elusive, like the ghosts of Pixies and Sonic Youth flickering at the edges. Even their name carries a sense of mystery - witch posts were carvings used in Seventeenth Century England to keep spirits out, but here they invite something in.

Reflecting on the track, the band shares: “We walk along the Thames. Dark water reflecting a full moon. We have a pint on the roof of a pub. The wind is icy but it’s tough to care when we can feel something bubbling below the surface, a secret of some kind. Fast forward to this year and we’re lying in the snow two miles away from the Yellowstone River. She stares down the North Star and he grits his teeth. Everything is quiet for a moment”.
