Seven years in, Widowspeak remain purveyors of mood. They’re an outfit ever preoccupied with the influence of place and the passage of time on personal experience: the way vivid memories can feel like movies or dreams. Existing in a sonic overlap of sombre indie rock, dream pop, downtrodden shoegaze, slowcore and invented ‘cowboy grunge’, Widowspeak use familiar aesthetics as a narrative device, a purposeful nostalgic backdrop for songs that ask, “How did we get here?” Expect the Best, their fourth for Brooklyn’s Captured Tracks, sees the group finding balance between opposing forces: darkness and light, quiet and loud, tension and calm.
