Widowspeak - Plum

After a decade of being relatively prolific (an album every other year, regular as clockwork), Widowspeak return after a three-year break with their fourth album Plum. Should fans expect a devastating volte-face in sound, or even an overhaul?

Well no, it’s more of the same.

Their last album, 2017’s Expect The Best, was dubbed as a return to the sound of their beginnings, and Plum picks up where they left off. It’s all laconically strummed guitars, occasional piano or synths, all justifying the dreaded term folky psychedelia (which seems immune to the passing of time or taste). This isn’t necessarily a criticism, as the Brooklynites now have the experience and the chops to withstand any passing trends.
