Sept 1, 2016, DALLAS – True Widow, the Dallas trio NPR described as “ribcage-rattling” and as having a “classic ‘90s 4AD” sound, premiere new song, “O.O.T.P.V” via Brooklyn Vegan.

The band recorded Avvolgere with Matt Pence, who also recorded their 2013 release, Circumambulation, at his Echo Lab studio in Argyle, Tex. earlier this year. NPR marveled at band’s mastery of using “volume as an instrument,” while Pitchfork commented on their ability to “find virtue in pairing grit with sluggishness.” “Over the course of three albums,” the Wall Street Journal said in an article on the DFW-outfit, “the Dallas-based band has refined a sound rooted in focused repetition, bass-heavy guitar drones, ethereal vocals, and almost always, crawling tempos.” With Avvolgere, True Widow perfects their craft, featuring serene, rounded climaxes and steep, jangling choruses that engulf the listener with waves of downbeat, saccharine melodies and mesmerizing distortion.
True Widow is D.H. Phillips (guitar/steel guitar/vocals), Nicole Estill (bass/acoustic guitar/vocals) and Slim TX (drums/piano).
