True Widow - As High As The Highest Heavens And From The Center To The Circumference Of The Earth (2

Die Band, die ihre Art von langsamer, schwerer und kluger Musik als Stonegaze bezeichnet. Repress der 2xLP von 2011.



Mexican Summer present As High As The Highest Heavens And From The Center To The Circumference Of The Earth by True Widow due for release on the 13th May 2016.

Here is a band that has figured out how to play music that is traditionally recognized as heavy and slow, on traditional rock instruments, in a way that few have been able to accomplish: a melancholy, meditative approach to songwriting and soundscape that draws you in. They figured this out in the space of one album a self-titled debut from 2008. On As High As the Highest Heavens, they refine the work even further. Big guitar, bigger drums and the biggest bass effortlessly recreate the unending skies of prairie America, where storms blow across with fury, horizons are unencumbered by the choke of skyscrapers and electric light, and the atmosphere pushes you down. A rumbling backdrop of distortion churns away, both behind and within True Widow's plaintive song structures, but never overpowers it. Across a 50-minute runtime, the nine songs here range from excavated alt-rock anthems (Night Witches, Skull Eyes ) to methodical epics like Boaz and Blooden Horse, to triumphant bulldozers of sound like NH which splits the difference between dirge and hymn, the instruments staring into the ground while D.H. and Nikki's voices ascend to the clouds.
