Widowspeak is an American band comprised of Molly
Hamilton and Robert Earl Thomas, known for its dreamy, western-tinged take on
rock and roll. The outfit formed in 2010 and released two singles in 2011
(Harsh Realm, Gun Shy) followed by a debut album (self-titled) in the summer of
that year, all on Brooklyn label Captured Tracks.
Widowspeak have been praised for their reverential
spaciousness, Hamilton’s haunting voice, and Thomas’s spindly, Morricone-esque
guitar lines; both drawing on 1950's pop ballads and 1970's psych, creating
languid call-and-response melodies. The band have toured extensively, wearing
in their warm, nostalgic sound.
Remember;
