Track Of The Week: Widowspeak – Money


Widowspeak

Widowspeak




Our weekend pick of new tracks comes from Widowspeak who earlier this week confirmed their next album Plum for release on August 28th.

Along with the rest of the LP, Money was laid down ‘over a handful of weekends last winter’ with producer Sam Evian at his Flying Cloud studios in the Catskills, and was introduced by Molly Hamilton thus:

“I’ve been thinking a lot about the things we tell ourselves in order to ‘forget’ the toll of our collective actions: whatever makes it easier to forgive what we’re complicit in.”

“Some of that is related to the environment and how people have trained themselves to tune out ‘environmentalist propaganda’. We made part of the video at a park in Kingston, NY and the archival footage is mostly pulled from films aimed at employees or shareholders of various industries. The narration for many of them (forestry, agriculture, mining, energy) was surprisingly concerned with the dangers of an environment out of balance.”
