Each entry to their : :' catalog has marked a subtle reimagining of WidowspeakÆs sound, ': ,: though perennial points of reference remain the same: 90's dream :, : pop, 60's psych rock, a certain unshakeable : :' Pacific-Northwestness. Speaking to the timeless feeling of ': ,: each, the albums continue to be discovered well beyond their :, : respective PR cycles, made beloved by new listeners through word : :' of mouth. ': ,: :, : The bandÆs fifth album feels comfortable and lived-in: humble in : :' structure, heavy on mood. Perhaps that came taking time off ': ,: from the touring grind, instead working full-time jobs and :, : settling into the rhythm of daily life in a small upstate New : :' York town. Plum was recorded over a handful of weekends last ': ,: winter by Sam Evian (Cass McCombs, Kazu Makino, Hannah Cohen) at :, : his Flying Cloud studio in the Catskills, and was mixed by Ali : :' Chant (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding, Perfume Genius). In addition ': ,: to Hamilton (vocals, guitar) and Thomas (guitars, bass, synth), :, : it features instrumental contributions by Andy Weaver (drums), : :' Michael Hess (piano), and Sam himself (bass, synth). Plum ': ,: nestles into the bandÆs canon like it was always there, but with :, : new textures coming to the fore, like the polyrhythmic pulse of : :' "Amy" and "The Good Ones", or the watery, Terry ': ,: Riley-influenced track "Jeanie". :, : : :' Plum navigates the spaces between the lesser emotions of modern ': ,: life. HamiltonÆs lyrics speak to the unique turmoil of anyone :, : who creates as their work, who must somehow survive off such : :' "fruits of their labor." Yet, Widowspeak have always made a ': ,: bitter pill much easier to swallow. The majestic "Breadwinner", :, : the luminous "Even True Love" û these songs here were made to be : :' listened to, enjoyed. "Money" is particularly hypnotic, built ': ,: around a repeating, cyclical motif that serves as both skeleton :, : and body. "Will you get back what you put in?" Hamilton asks : :' over an insistent guitar riff. The line is delivered with a ': ,: knowingness that transcends its surface critiques of late-stage :, : capitalism, asking both herself and the listener whether this : :' is, in fact, the world we want to live in. Through Plum, ': ,: Widowspeak have brought something into the world that seems to :, : know its own worth, even as it wonders aloud about what is to : :' come. What value and meaning do we assign ourselves, our time, ': ,: and how do we spend it? :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 0 \/
