Widowspeak #2 - Gun Shy

Brooklyn-based trio Widowspeak returned last week with their second 7" on Captured Tracks, entitled 'Gun Shy' it's released ahead of their debut self-titled LP which follows on August 9.

"Gun Shy" continues where previous single "Harsh Realm" left off,  nostalgic 60's psychedelia that's just lovely on the ears. Mellow, wistful guitar jangles meander around whilst the deliciously beautiful vocal of Molly Hamilton lulls you with effortless grace. Soft, dreamy, blissful. I said this on my last Widowspeak most but it still rings true for me, 'perfect for the hazy and sleepy summer's afternoon'.

It's backed with a cover of "Wicked Game", the song fits perfectly with their hazy, gorgeous sound. It's quite faithful rendition and the sultry drool of Hamilton is sure to win over a few Chris Isaak fans in the process. Poor a glass of malt whisky, turn up your stereo and simply enjoy some aural pleasure for four minutes
