Brooklyn indie-rockers Widowspeak is a female-fronted Portishead/Mazzy Star/Lana Del Rey-style dream-drone, Xanax-drenched indie-rock band from Brooklyn by way of Washington. Singer Molly Hamilton is clearly inspired by languid and long-gone singers like Nico and Marianne Faithfull. Paired with rock guitarist Robert Earl Thomas, their debut 2011 album included the cinematic track “Harsh Realm,” heard in the TV show American Horror Story and earning the band a brief splash of critical ink, most of it positive. Two more albums seem to have come and gone without much brouhaha, but they’re about to drop an optimistically titled fourth album, Expect the Best, that they’ll be plugging at the Space.
