Widowspeak Hard Times (Live)

Got really cozy with the music of Brooklyn darlings Widowspeak over the weekend. They did a swell job of soothing my bitch of a hangover, as well as my tiny back heart. Peep the band's NewTown Radio Session they filmed this past May at Swan7 Studios in Brooklyn. Dig the lil' Deli Mag write-up they included a whole bunch too. Watch out Beach Fossils there's a new gangsta in town...

Simple, droney guitar chords, bare-bones drums, and alluring siren vocals combine into a power trio called Widowspeak. This new Brooklyn based band sounds like Kim Deal doing lead vocals on some kind of twangy psych rock. If that's not enticing enough, their slower numbers, sound like Deal doing a guest shot on The Velvet Underground. And - by the way - yes, we did have a crush on Kim when we were teenagers, didn't you? - Michele McManmon, Deli Magazine
