Witch Post - Butterfly EP
Witch Post treat ordinary scenes like fragile little artefacts, turning them over to see what’s hidden beneath.
Witch Post’s ‘Butterfly’ EP moves through memory like a place you almost recognise, but the road signs keep changing. Across seven tracks, Alaska and Dylan turn small details into entire landscapes: a county fair at sunset, a long drive where the sky refuses to make up its mind.
The pair often sing in unison, a choice that gives the songs an odd, hypnotic pull. It’s less about harmony and more about perspective: two voices moving through the same thought at the same time. The effect is magnetic, as if the songs are being narrated by two people remembering the same story from slightly different angles.
‘Twin Fawn’ wanders through hazy nostalgia, turning memory into something slightly distorted at the edges. ‘Tilt-A-Whirl’ builds from fleeting snapshots: cotton candy in the dirt, neon lights flickering. ‘Worry Angel’ circles that familiar spiral where your brain insists something terrible is about to happen, then tries to talk itself down again (worth a try).
Throughout ‘Butterfly’, Witch Post treat ordinary scenes like fragile little artefacts, turning them over to see what’s hidden beneath. The result is intimate and slightly strange - exactly the sort of EP that rewards staying with it a little longer.
