Witch Post is the collaboration between Scottish alternative artist Dylan Fraser and American indie songwriter Alaska Reid. Both established solo musicians, they met by chance and discovered an uncanny link — each hailing from towns of the same name, one in Scotland and one in Montana. Bringing together Fraser’s UK alternative edge and Reid’s roots in the American indie scene, Witch Post aim to “reclaim band music,” blending the wolffish grit of Scottish rock ’n’ roll with the wide, open-road feel of American songwriting. Their name references 17th-century English carvings meant to ward off witches — reclaimed here in celebration rather than fear. Together, they craft songs that feel both mythic and deeply personal.
“Witching Hour” leans into the duo’s shadowy, atmospheric instincts. The track carries a nocturnal pulse — moody guitars intertwine with driving rhythms, while vocals balance vulnerability with quiet ferocity. There’s a sense of tension simmering beneath the surface, as if the song exists in that liminal space between dusk and dawn. Cinematic yet intimate, “Witching Hour” captures the band’s ability to merge folk-tinged storytelling with brooding alt-rock momentum.
Why it is trending: As both Dylan Fraser and Alaska Reid bring their established fanbases into this joint project, Witch Post are drawing attention across UK and US alternative circles. “Witching Hour” stands out as a defining statement of their shared sonic identity, fueling anticipation around the project’s next chapter.
