In 2010 in New York City, indie-rock band Widowspeak was formed. Concerned with the influence of place and the passage of time on personal experience, their music presents a humble approach to the medium.
Lead vocalist, Molly Hamilton, provides delicate renditions to the backdrop of her bandmates’ guitar, bass, piano and percussion, which creates music that has both a wide-eyed sweetness and resigned melancholy to it.
Influenced by ‘90s dream-pop, ‘60s psych-rock and a specific unshakeable Pacific-Northwestness, their music (best enjoyed live) has a distinct feel which is difficult to pigeon-hole.
