WIDOWSPEAK Offer Vivifying Dream Pop ‘ROSES’

Posted on by JL

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.

When WIDOWSPEAK Covers DIRE STRAITS You Get Magic

Posted on by JL

13 January 2021

Last August Brooklyn‘s daydreamers WIDOWSPEAK – singer Molly Hamilton and guitarist Robert Earl Thomas – released their highly acclaimed fifth LP Plum with a 4/5 review from AllMusic writing: “Plum finds them at their most immediate and compelling.”

And they start 2021 with a new 5-track EP, planned to go online on 22th January. Honeychurch, like the 17th-century tile on its cover, is a nod to E.M. Forster’s A Room
With A View and was originally a working title for Plum.

All EP info here.

One of the tracks is a Dire Straits cover of their 40-year old song (released as a single
on 9 Jan 1981 – from the band’s third LP Making Movies) Romeo and Juliet . Thomas’ glimmering guitar glow and Hamilton’s sensuous voice make it sound as if they wrote
the humdinger themselves. Magic, just magic!

Have a listen…

Dreamy Psych Pop Musing – WIDOWSPEAK Shares Title Track From Upcoming New Album ‘PLUM’

Posted on by JL

New sonic impulses…

15 July 2020

Brooklyn’s psych-pop duo WIDOWSPEAK will soon release new album PLUM, their fifth full-length. After we enjoyed the previously shared singles Breadwinner and Money. 
here’s cut number three, the title track. Plum is a moody daydream musing as light as
a feather. Both bewitching and sorrowful.

I wrote ‘Plum’ about wanting to be more comfortable and casual with thoughts I tend to avoid. Especially when I’m feeling very out-of-step with the world, there’s no use in being nostalgic for ‘the end of an era’ or being afraid of what could happen. But, avoiding the present is kind of my default. I’m trying to be more aware that everyone is on its own trajectory, in its own time, slowly becoming something or becoming nothing.” said singer/songwriter Molly Hamilton.

Here’s the sweet little pearl…
