Widowspeak

Widowspeak remain purveyors of mood. Whether speaking plainly to the mundane details of modern life, dealing in heartbreak and hooks, or conjuring the sweeping openness of a wide angle landscape, they’re a band ever-concerned with the influence of place and the passage of time on personal experience: the way vivid memories can feel like movies or dreams. Anchored by the creative partnership of singer-songwriter Molly Hamilton and guitarist Robert Earl Thomas, Widowspeak in essence operates as a duo: the two write songs with ear-wormy choruses and big guitar chords, supported by warm and expansive arrangements. 

Jess Ribeiro is a shape-shifting musical enigma. The near-untouchable quality of her recorded output is astonishingly consistent and the wait for new music is always worthwhile. Ribeiro’s 2012 debut album 'My Little River' was an award-winning folk-country masterpiece while her second album (2015’s 'Kill It Yourself') was a slow-burning indie-noire masterpiece which left reviewers scrambling for superlatives. Her new album 'Summer Of Love' was releases earlier thies year.

"With expansive, experimental instrumentation, the Melbourne musician’s fourth album records our contemporary chaos – and finds a glimmer of hope" - The Guardian ★★★★

"Ribeiro refines her own unique strain of delicate, slightly askew folk on surreal, striking and intimate fourth album" - Rolling Stone ★★★★
