About Widowspeak

Widowspeak is an American indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York City, United States. The band consists of guitarist and vocalist Molly Hamilton and guitarist Robert Earl Thomas.

Widowspeak remain purveyors of mood. Whether speaking plainly to the mundane details of modern life, dealing in heartbreak and hooks, or conjuring the sweeping openness of a wide angle landscape, they’re a band ever-concerned with the influence of place and the passage of time on personal experience: the way vivid memories can feel like movies or dreams. Anchored by the creative partnership of singer-songwriter Molly Hamilton and guitarist Robert Earl Thomas, Widowspeak in essence operates as a duo: the two write songs with ear-wormy choruses and big guitar chords, supported by warm and expansive arrangements. But they record (and tour) as a full band. On stage the dynamics shift seamlessly between drifting ballads and reverb-laden walls of sound, all with a humble and laid-back approach. Hamilton’s delicate voice and Thomas’s adept guitar playing trade space as lead, amid dusty percussion and ambling bass and piano lines.

The band was formed in 2010 in New York City, born from a fertile music scene then-centered in the DIY venues and warehouse practice spaces of north Brooklyn. Soon after their first few shows, the band was signed to local indie label Captured Tracks, and made a home for itself among like-minded acts such as DIIV, Wild Nothing, Beach Fossils, Blouse, and Mac DeMarco, and alongside the shoegaze, pop and rarities reissues the label is known for. Since then, across six albums and years of touring, Widowspeak have steadily honed their craft. Each entry to their catalog has marked a subtle reimagining of the band’s sound, though some points of reference remain the same: 90’s dream pop, 60’s psych rock, a certain unshakeable Pacific-Northwestness.
