About Widowspeak
Widowspeak is an internationally acclaimed American dream-pop, indie-rock, and slowcore band formed in Brooklyn, New York, in 2010 by singer-songwriter Molly Hamilton and guitarist Robert Earl Thomas. Signing with respected indie powerhouse Captured Tracks, the duo earned widespread critical acclaim for their warm, Western-tinged dream-pop soundscapes and Hamilton's breathy, hypnotic vocal delivery.
Their celebrated discography, including acclaimed albums like 'Widowspeak' (2011), 'Almanac' (2013), 'All Yours' (2015), 'Plum' (2020), and 'The Jacket' (2022), produced beloved indie favorites such as 'Harsh Realm', 'Gun Shy', 'Money', 'The Good Ones', and 'Everything Is Simple'. The band's sonic trademark pairs Thomas's reverb-drenched, bluesy slide guitar riffs with Hamilton's velvet, melancholic melodies.
Widowspeak has toured extensively across North America and Europe, performing at major festivals and headlining landmark indie venues.
For guitarists, Widowspeak's catalog is a masterclass in subtle vibrato-arm techniques, open-chord modal progressions, and lush atmospheric guitar tones that are deeply satisfying to play on electric and acoustic guitar.
