Austin band Farmer's Wife share brooding "Season of the Witch" cover

Austin rockers Farmer’s Wife are excited to share their cover of “Season of the Witch,” refreshing the infamous Donovan classic. Arriving just in time for Halloween celebrations and their extensive U.S. tour supporting Cloud Nothings, today’s release sees the band experimentally reimagining the beloved track, wringing out every tangled and beautiful note, and stretching it into compelling, spiraling chaos.

“Our cover of ‘Season of the Witch’ materialized out of a drum beat and pedal feedback two Halloweens ago,” explains lead vocalist Molly Masson. “This creepy classic opened us to more experimentation and allowed us to dive into an eerier side of our sound.”

LISTEN TO “SEASON OF THE WITCH”

Since their inception in 2021, Farmer’s Wife has been a local go-to within Austin’s DIY scene, known for their incendiary performances, swirling guitar riffs and sludgy sound. Their first EP, There’s A Monster, arrived last fall and solidified their ability to create atmospheric songs that pull the listener in completely, bringing them into their dark fairy tale world. Earlier this year, the group shared a new single “Boheme,” previewing a deep shift in sound before touring around the U.S. and hitting hotspots like Los Angeles’s Moroccan Lounge and Brooklyn’s Union Pool.

Coming off an extensive summer tour around the country, Farmer’s Wife will hit the road again this fall supporting Cloud Nothings, Equipment and Armlock. After the tour's first leg, they will return to Austin for a hometown Levitation Festival set with Illuminati Hotties and Hello Mary. For a full list of dates, see below or visit farmers-wife.com.
