Listening To: Widowspeak - Widowspeak (2011)

Right now I’m spinning my copy of Widowspeak’s self-titled debut LP from last year. I picked this up at a show at The Space a couple weeks ago, where this band absolutely killed it opening for the Dum Dum Girls. Molly Hamilton’s wispy voice slays me, and the crystal clear sounds of the lead guitarist’s custom telecaster cut through the slowly reverberating mix in all the right ways. This is not a perfect record, but it’s just about the perfect record to sit by the fire and listen to with somebody. Who wants to join in?
