Sour Widows Share Big Dogs
There’s a lot of immediacy in the music scene…two minute pop songs and what not…so it’s nice to hear an act like Sour Widows really stretching things out in their work. The final single before the released of Revival of a Friend has the group carefully crawling through the first two minutes, tip-toeing over guitar lines and soft drum pieces. Their ability to build tension has been perfected, as they unleash a smashing wall of noise that comes crashing right through at the 2:21 mark; it allows their soft notes to turn into a thundering burst that displays their ability to offer differentiation throughout their tunes. But, rest assured, just as they’ve battered your ears, they pull back the covers to offer some solace as the tune pulls to a close. Revival of a Friend is out June 28th via Exploding in Sound.
