Widowspeak

This week I am rolling the dreamy sounds of Widowspeak on repeat to keep me inspired and driven during my day. Widowspeak is a Brooklyn-based indie rock duo formed in 2010, consisting of vocalist/guitarist Molly Hamilton and guitarist Robert Earl Thomas. Their music blends dream pop, country, and classic rock into hazy, haunting songs. Over the years, they’ve released several albums, including their self-titled debut in 2011, “Almanac” in 2013, and “The Jacket” in 2022, each showcasing their evolving sound and lyrical depth.

Hot Chip

Hot Chip mixes an indie sound with a dance music vibe  to create their newest album, Why Make Sense?. The video below is Huarache Lights, the first song on the new alum.

Built to Spill

Built to Spill, an indie rock band from Boise, Idaho, has a new album, Untethered Moon, that is certainly worth checking out. The whole album is solid and fun to listen to.

Built to Spill were one of the most popular indie rock acts of the ’90s, finding the middle ground between postmodern, Pavement-style pop and the loose, spacious jamming of Neil Young.

“Living Zoo” may be the quirkiest new song which is the one below in the video.

Lord Huron, Fool for Love

Lord Huron’s Fool for Love is a great little catchy tune with a fun, entertaining music video and a cool easter egg. The video is a short story of a “The Fool” confronting Lily’s (his lover) other man, “Big Jim.” This is a classic bar brawl scene where the Fool gets everyone in on the action.
