Widowspeak is a Brooklyn,NY-based band formed in 2010 by Molly Hamilton and Robert Earl Thomas. The duo play dreamy, western-tinged shoegaze rock, taking influence from 1950s pop ballads and 1970s psychedelia. Molly has a lovely, lilting voice, ever so slightly raspy, with a breathiness that can lull the listener into a pleasant waking dream. Widowspeak has often been compared to Mazzy Star, and their sound is also somewhat reminiscent of The Cowboy Junkies, who had a 1988 hit with a cover of The Velvet Underground’s Sweet Jane. However, I have a feeling that Widowspeak will stand the test of time a lot better than either of those two acts.
