Goldstar presents:

Widowspeak members Molly Hamilton and Michael Stasiak are both originally from Tacoma, Washington. They relocated to New York following fellow members of the local compilation label they belonged to. After three years of being in …New York, Stasiak approached Hamilton about starting a new band together. Picking up guitarist Robert Earl Thomas, a new band was formed, and despite the band’s… new surroundings in New York, their sound retained the sparse, slow burning aesthetic of Tacoma rather than adopting the bombast and grandiose of the New York music scene.

Widowspeak’s music bears a sharper edge than New York’s electro-pop community. Rather than permeating their music with the sound of synthesizers, Widowspeak was formed using the classic indie rock mold of vocals, guitars, and drums. I might still classify the group as indie-pop as I could comparatively group them alongside the London-based Allo Darlin’. Widowspeak’s Molly Hamilton sings softer than Elizabeth Morris of Allo Darlin’ though. Widowspeak’s music is more haunting and less bubbly also. Still there are moments on their self-titled debut where Widowspeak don’t seem as confined in the darkness that their songs suggest.
