Widowspeak

Widowspeak is an American indie rock and dream pop band formed in 2010 in New York. The group is linked to the label Captured Tracks, on which it released its debut album, 'Widowspeak', in 2011. Their sound draws on the dream pop tradition, with hazy guitar textures and melodic vocals set against a loose, unhurried rock framework.

Sam Burton is also named among the artists for this concert, and the performance is part of a visit to London by the band. Scala hosts concerts and shows in London, so the evening is a live music night rather than a theatre or exhibition event. Listeners who know the band's records will recognise the dream pop atmosphere of the recordings, and those new to the group can hear how their indie rock roots shape their songs.

The night suits anyone interested in American indie rock and dream pop, from listeners who followed the band's early releases to those discovering them for the first time through a London gig.
