WIDOWSPEAK SHARE NEW SINGLE “SOFT COVER”
Widowspeak have shared “Soft Cover,” the third single from their upcoming record Roses featuring one of the album’s most sweeping hooks.
Catch the band on their headline U.S. tour this summer and UK/EU tour this winter
“Soft Cover” is the third single from their highly anticipated new album Roses, arriving June 5th. The track is achingly gorgeous, buoyed by a driving rhythm section and vocalist Molly Hamilton’s saccharine voice. Of the track, Molly said:
“Soft Cover” is about infatuation: wanting and daydreaming about someone as you’re going about your day… even if, and maybe especially if, you’ve been with them a long time,”
“We brought in a Rhodes for this one, so it came in a car from Athens, then took a boat, then a donkey carried it up to the studio,” Hamilton adds, describing the unique recording conditions they experienced at the Old Carpet Factory on the Greek island Hydra.
Watch: “Soft Cover” Music Video
Along with the single, Widowspeak have shared their third new music video for the album, all existing within the same cinematic universe.
“The video is the last in the world of the trilogy, where the Singing Telegram Girl is dreaming about an idealized Renaissance Faire Guy while waiting around, reading a pulpy novel,” shares Hamilton. “Rob was incredibly enthusiastic about this one because he loves medieval history and we got to pick out some fun costumes from Adele’s of Hollywood. He’s a star!”
