True Widow: Circumambulation 2013 [CD]

Third Press. Orange Krush and Black Galaxy Effect Merge.Avvolgere, the forthcoming LP from Texas trio TRUE WIDOW, perfects the formula that 2013's Circumambulation established. The album rocks and rolls with serene, rounded climaxes and steep, jangling choruses that engulf the listener with waves of downbeat, saccharine melodies and mesmerizing distortion. TRUE WIDOW's signature alternation between male and female vocals helps further blur the boundaries between the heft of stoner rock, the droning atmosphere of shoegaze, and the twangy catchiness of blues and indie rock. It's both concise and circuitous - the album takes you on a journey that you can't ever quite predict or expect. Avvolgere is TRUE WIDOW sounding more infectious and consummate than ever before.

Fifth Press. Sea Blue and White Galaxy Effect Merge Vinyl.On True Widow's highly anticipated third album 'Circumambulation', the Dallas heavy 'stonegaze' trio hone in on their trademark syrupy simplicity with absolute perfection. Equal parts drone, post-rock and shoegaze, 'Circumambaulation' is the band's most, controlled, concise and realized effort yet. Simultaneously True Widow's darkest and poppiest record, 'Circumambaulation' is a moody triumph of a record perfect for both super late nights, and early Sunday mornings. Rarely does a band capture the vibe of dreary haze together with sticky male/female harmonies so infectiously. True Widow's 'Circumambulation' is an easy top contender for record of summer, if not all of 2013.
