Feel like we might all be taking Widowspeak for granted, but luckily Austinites have the chance to remedy that by heading to Sidewinder tomorrow evening. Through four albums, the band has been nothing but an example of musical consistency, though I feel it necessary to mention that Expect the Best might be their best release. There’s such depth to each track, brooding and coated in delicate vocals…and added textures of strings/accompaniment build to make swelling pop opuses. It’s an early show, with doors at 6:30 PM, with Clearance schedule to open just after 7. Buy yourself a ticket HERE. Stream the entirety of their latest release for Captured Tracks below.

Dreamy New Track From Widowspeak

August 15, 2017 RayRay Leave a comment

The Brooklyn music scene am I right? It’s like a new band comes our way from the area almost everyday and it continues to shock me. We represent Brooklyn again today with this track called “The Dream” from Widowspeak. It’s definitely a dream pop number reminiscent of pioneers like Beach House or even newbies like Alvvays. You are sure to sink in and be swept away with the beauty of this track.

Widowspeak will release Expect the Best on August 25th via Captured Tracks.

Just wanted to be sure that we ran this remarkable Widowspeak tune, or else I’d feel like I’m letting you all down. Perhaps my favorite thing about this track is the way it seems to unite the sounds from the band’s previous 3 releases; it takes on some of the dreamy pop and blends it with some of that folk-driven guitar sounds the band has employed. I even hear a touch of Mazzy Star coming in just after the 2.5 minute mark; this tune’s beautiful for long drives at night with nothing but stars on the horizon and the wind in your hair. Look for Expect the Best on August 25th via Captured Tracks.
