Esben and The Witch

Esben and The Witch is a Brighton trio who have taken their name from a Danish fairytale involving cruelty to children, ritual slaughter and other unpleasantness, which I won’t mention. Their music is very dark, gloomy, with electronic and Goth overtones. The band them self have described their influences as “glaciers, caverns and waning moons” and that they write dark tales, which indeed they are but oddly inviting.
