Widowspeak — KEXP, 2026

Published on October 5, 2026 by

Filmed live session by Widowspeak at Seattle’s KEXP radio studios, recorded on 31 July 2026. Led by singer Molly Hamilton and guitarist Robert Earl Thomas, the New York band cultivates a hazy dream pop built on reverb-drenched guitars, muted melodies and an avowed folk and country influence. Across four songs — « The Hook », « No Driver », « Roses » and « If You Change » — the group unfolds delicate arrangements in which Hamilton’s soft voice glides over cottony textures. The live capture, by KEXP’s teams, foregrounds the intimacy of this music and the cohesion of a band expanded to five players. Far from the big stage, this studio performance restores the melancholy beauty and quiet elegance that have defined Widowspeak since its early-2010s beginnings. An ideal live set to discover a dreamy, nuanced pop that runs against the trends, filmed in one of independent music’s most emblematic studios.
