WIDOWSPEAK Offer Vivifying Dream Pop ‘ROSES’
6 June 2026
Band: WIDOWSPEAK
Who: Vivifying dream pop friends from Brooklyn, NY.
Guitarist and vocalist Molly Hamilton and guitarist
Robert Earl Thomas.
Album: ROSES
Their 7th.
Press info: “An record called Roses would be concerned with romantic gestures.
Across the ten tracks, intimate spaces and stages of love are captured with a nostalgic, vaseline-coated lens. Candles burn inside red glass as lovers get close in a leather booth.
Celebrity headshots gaze down like angels in a restaurant. Elsewhere, carnations are pressed in a black book and dancers pull each other close. Widowspeak is a band that
riffs on big emotions without being too self-serious. The sweetness, even silliness, of an extended limerent phase that becomes as all-consuming as a pulpy trade paperback.
Cars and their drivers serve as a way to talk about codependency. If music can simultaneously be naturalistic and noir, saturated and lush, that is Widowspeak.
They’re a band that knowshow to set a scene.”
Far Out Magazine says: “Conjuring dreamy, folksy nuggets from life’s unassuming
corners, Widowspeak herald a charming return, delicately rippling with slowcore
ambience and a touching songcraft that carries Roses a respectable distance.”
TUTV: OMG, I’m lazy today. If I say that this record sounds like Mazzy Star backed
by Neil Young on acoustic and electric guitar I guess you know what to expect.
