#301 | Straw Bear – The Land Witch

If Santa has been and gone for another year, Halloween must be a distant memory, but you wouldn’t know it from the latest record by Straw Bear, who transport us back to the eery feeling of late October with ‘The Land Witch’ – taken from Black Bank. “”I was in the back of my nan’?s car as a kid, and I swear she told my dad that a “land witch” lived in the woods near her house,” singer Ian Ray said. “I sincerely believed that some weird old crone would abduct me if I went too close to the trees.
