Widowers

Widowers
“The band’s full- length album, “Widowers,” is the kind of record that shows the difference between sleepy rock ‘n’ roll and dreamy pop, and the group manages both with skilled composure and ample low-fi, DIY charm. Packed with loose harmonies and tight playing, the record will only push forward the buzz surrounding the melodic five-piece.”
Ricardo Baca, Denver Post “With a keen sense of pacing and melody, the music of Widowers has drawn easy comparisons to psychedelic-tinged pop from the ‘60s. But anyone who has seen Mike Marchant and company’s handful of shows thus far knows that they’ve already moved beyond their influences and have established a sound and vision all their own… Many groups with chops tend to lack imagination, but Widowers, whose music drifts along in dreamy imagery as easily as it does exploring the dark side of the psyche, doesn’t seem to have that problem.”
Tom Murphy, Westword “Tonight is your opportunity to make good on that see-more-local-music resolution and catch one of Denver’s most underappreciated pop bands headline an exciting rock bill. The Widowers have made some noise across town, but given their psych-pop music’s impressive presence and gigantic Brit-influenced melodies, their shows should be packed — especially in a town with the Elephant 6 heritage of Denver.”
Ricardo Baca, Denver Post “Meticulously layered guitars, lilting melodies and Marchant’s languid, otherworldly vocals evoked the shoegazer psychedelia of groups like Spacemen 3 while retaining the lucidity and tangibility of pop… Shusterman’s jingling Rhodes provides the ideal counterpoint for Hart and Marchant’s ringing guitar lines, while Weaver’s bass and Brown’s truly musical drumming propel the tunes with potent rhythmic force.”
