Buddy's Band of the Week

Who - Esben and the Witch are Rachael Davies (vocals, percussion), Daniel Copeman (electronics, guitars), Thomas Fisher (guitars, keyboards)

Where - Brighton, UK

Why - The Brighton trio are named after a dark Danish fairytale about abuse, slaughter and all manners of unpleasant acts, so don't expect a happy sound. The music boarders post-rock/electronica with a gothic undertone. The single 'marching song' opens up with drone-infused guitars and keyboards while simple percussion pounds over the top creating a dark, intense atmosphere. Their album 'Violet Cries' is out now.
