Widowspeak have hit the sweetness sweet spot with 'Roses' a record that'll have you swooning like Miss Honey when Wormwood skips skips town. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor those who dig: The Sundays, Mazzy Star and some twanging country with indie jangles. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"150\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 660px; overflow: hidden; background: transparent;\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.music.apple.com\/gb\/album\/if-you-change\/1880416141?i=1880416153\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn album called “Roses” would be concerned with romantic gestures. Across the ten\u003cbr\u003etracks that make up the seventh and newest Widowspeak record, intimate spaces\u003cbr\u003eand stages of love are captured with a nostalgic, vaseline-coated lens. Candles burn\u003cbr\u003einside red glass as lovers get close in a leather booth. Celebrity headshots gaze\u003cbr\u003edown like angels in a restaurant. Elsewhere, carnations are pressed in a black book\u003cbr\u003eand dancers pull each other close. Widowspeak is a band that riffs on big emotions\u003cbr\u003ewithout being too self-serious. The sweetness, even silliness, of an extended limerent\u003cbr\u003ephase that becomes as all-consuming as a pulpy trade paperback. Cars and their driv-\u003cbr\u003eers serve as a way to talk about codependency. If music can simultaneously be natu-\u003cbr\u003eralistic and noir, saturated and lush, that is Widowspeak. They’re a band that knows\u003cbr\u003ehow to set a scene.\u003cbr\u003eThese songs use intimate moments to talk about deeper heartaches: the restlessness\u003cbr\u003einherent in modern existence, waiting around for something to happen. Or, feeling at\u003cbr\u003eodds with playing a role in your own life. “Roses” might be the most romantic Widow-\u003cbr\u003espeak record, but it’s also the most deeply realist: the stage is set not with dramatic\u003cbr\u003eovertures but the backdrop of the minutiae and repetition of daily acts. Small ob-\u003cbr\u003eservations before, during, and after work: the ritual of pouring water for customers,\u003cbr\u003ecatching a cold on your day off. Daydreaming about winning the lottery, or maybe\u003cbr\u003erealizing you already won. Here, love is a way to talk about what drives us, and Wid-\u003cbr\u003eowspeak suggest it can be the whole point. The light that illuminates the dark corners\u003cbr\u003eof a day, a life. A reason to keep going despite the pain it can cause.\u003cbr\u003eWidowspeak are one of the most prolific and hardworking bands going, bubbling\u003cbr\u003ejust under the surface. Molly Hamilton and Robert Earl Thomas are the core of the\u003cbr\u003egroup and its songwriters, and they have honed their sound across sixteen years and\u003cbr\u003ean impressively consistent catalog. One of many bands to crop up in a fertile New\u003cbr\u003eYork City music scene, they started out shuffling gear between venues now-since\u003cbr\u003eshuttered and their practice space in Monster Island Basement. Widowspeak is now a\u003cbr\u003emarried couple, working day jobs in their own off-season. Robert is a carpenter, Molly\u003cbr\u003ea waitress.\u003cbr\u003e“Roses” is Widowspeak at its best, drawing on forever influences. The magic of the\u003cbr\u003eband is, still and always, the interplay between Molly and Robert in their two leading\u003cbr\u003eroles: her languid, textured voice and his visceral guitar playing.\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of it, their music is special because it is real: most of all for the people\u003cbr\u003emaking it. Fragile and temporary, and worthwhile… like love itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Widowspeak","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52771635495206,"sku":"CT391LP-C1","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/7734\/2621\/files\/IMG_2358.jpg?v=1780578874","url":"https:\/\/www.limitedadditionrecords.com\/en-us\/products\/roses-cherry-red-eco-mix-vinyl-lp","provider":"Limited Addition Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
