Landowner – “Witch Museum”

Landowner – “Witch Museum”

The Holyoke, MA band Landowner play tight and nervy post-punk that races along like the bus in Speed (i.e. it cannot go below 50 MPH or it will explode). “Witch Museum,” the opening track and lead single from their next album Escape The Compound, is like Parquet Courts if they were approximately 75% more jittery and unhinged. Or maybe the Feelies meet the Fall? I’m guessing bassist Josh Owsley’s fingers are incredibly strong and limber. Listen below.
