Dark Forest is a trippy reverb soaked ode to witches. Inspired by horror films like Robert Egger’s The VVItch, Dark Forest uses theatrical and whispered vocals to create a sense of unease in the listener. When I wrote it I pictured a protagonist walking deeper and deeper into a forest, paranoid that they can whispered voices floating in the wind. As you move deeper into the heart of the forest and civilisation feels further away these voices grow louder and more menacing as the witches begin to circle.

Lyrics:

It holds it in the wind
A brush against your skin

It holds it in the wind
A brush against your skin
They won't take much from you
Relax your mind and breathe

In the wind
It holds it in

It holds it in the wind
A brush against your skin
