After all they formed in a Brooklyn apartment thousands of miles to the east, and their guitarist has never even seen the Pacific Ocean. There are aspects of the band's sound abrasive guitar hooks, immediate drumming, and incessant codas that speak to living in a big city. But there's also a dreary sparseness, a David Lynch-esque darkness, culled from the other members native Washington. Singer/songwriter Molly Hamilton grew up in an old house in Tacoma, drummer Michael Stasiak in nearby Lakewood. While grunge put Seattle on the map and Riot Grrl and the DIY aesthetic are synonymous with Olympia, Tacoma remains grittier, darker even. Infamous for the acrid smell of its paper mills, this blue-collar city somehow fosters a fertile music community if few outsiders know about it. Michael and Molly first crossed paths in that tight-knit scene, both contributing to a local compilation label. The label lasted all of one summer before half its roster decamped for New York. Widowspeak was recorded at Rear House with Jarvis Taveniere of Woods, and documents Widowspeak s inaugural year. In a relaxed studio setting songs born from their first jittery practices could breathe. The trio expanded their modest instrumentation while retaining a sparse aesthetic. The resulting record offers an eerie ambience, at times channeling 1950's jukebox pop, at others, 1960 s psychedelia. While garnering comparisons to slow-moving 1990's acts such as Mazzy Star or Cat Power, Widowspeak have defined a sound that's earnestly nostalgic, and increasingly confident. Even so, these are songs about heartache. They are songs about homesickness, about longing for pine forests, reckless youth, and dark nights in strange cities. Review: Shoegazing loveliness - Widowspeak has a very classic 90's-esque shoegaze sound. It reminds me of Mazzy Star's first album, jangly and vaguely psychedelic. "Nightcrawlers" has that quiet but noisy sounds down. I just love it. Review: Chimerical vocals over a dreamy grunge backdrop - I heard 'Harsh Realm' by Widowspeak playing in the background of an episode of American Horror Story. It gave me chills, and I rushed to the computer after the episode concluded. I love the song, it makes me feel a bit euphoric at times, but it also gives a nice off kilter feeling with the sinister guitar riffs and melancholy vocals by the lovely Molly Hamilton. After about 10 plays of 'Harsh Realm" I moved on. After a week, I've listened to the entire album a few times and it has really grown on me. "Hard Times, "Fir Coats," and "Half Awake" are my other favorites. They remind a bit of the Cults album, but I like this better. They also seem to have the rock style of a more laid back female vocal version of the Pixies, they are very catchy, pleasant and enjoyable to throw on during a long drive. Mazzy Star would be the clear comparison, so if you like them, the vocals are strikingly similar and just as good. With a few layered guitar parts, steady drums, and the occasional organ, Widowspeak does what a lot of groups have done before, but the vocals of Molly Hamilton make this a group I'll continue to keep my ear on. ## Images ![WIDOWSPEAK - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jNZB87UlL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shoegazing loveliness *by K***R on December 25, 2011* Widowspeak has a very classic 90's-esque shoegaze sound.

I got hooked on the single (Puritan) and second single (Gun Shy), and at first thought the rest of the album was not at the same calibre. But I gave the album time, and after five listens or so, the rest of the album really grows on you. The lead singer's voice obviously reminds me of mazzy star, and some songs sound very reminscent of that band, but not completely. This album has a very unique sound to it... the secret weapon is actually the lead guitar, which is simply beutiful. Every song has these very elaborate riffs which thread behind the vocal track. The way the vocals and lead guitar mix together in unexpected ways creates truely amazingly deep music. The guitar at some points actually sounds like something from Interpol (some of their more gental songs), and evoke the same types of feelings, yet with a sexier female edge. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/28413409-widowspeak](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/28413409-widowspeak) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
