laid back indie rock presents a video set in the Middle Ages which sees a young red head tied up and thrown into a river, on the basis of the single’s title that ‘She’s A Witch’. Although a method rarely used to ascertain one’s witch-status today due to its scientifically flawed logic, Gengahr bring back the river-dumping Middle Ages reality which, while a little morbid, is also captivating when coupled with the progressive synths and guitar based melody provided by Gengahr.

The four-piece from London, having enlisted the skill of video directors Reuben Woodin Dechamps and Balint Revesz of Gallivant Film, have sourced the underground talent of London to create something mesmerising. “Maybe she’ll sink, maybe she’ll fly, I’ve got a witch that cries all the time,” is a favourite line of ours.
