The tone of that guitar is just delicious.

0:29 While You Wait 5:05 The Drive 9:25 True Blue 14:32 Everything Is Simple

True Blue 9:28 is beautiful and sublime. Flat out amazing… There is always good new music out there, you just have to seek it out. ☮️❤️🥁🎸

Ok this is incredibly good. And I've noticed that KEXP must have the best sound engineers on earth...

This was enough to nudge them to the top of my leader board, love the enjoyment and exuberance of this performance!

really happy to see them come back with such a great album- pretty much takes me back to the early 10's

wow, the guitarist on the Rickenbacker is beyond good, he could change the atmosphere in a room in two bars with his fingers...cap...doffed!

1st listen: "This is nice" 2nd Listen : "I need this on vinyl" as I play air guitar to the Drive

The Mazzy Star influence is unmistakable

I’m late to the party on Widowspeak, having only found them 3-4 months ago. This is the first time seeing them perform these songs live - and wow, this is truly incredible. Her vocals are just ethereal and beautiful, and the guitar work is absolutely fantastic here, truly escalates the already great recording. Need to now catch them actually live. Thank you KEXP!

KEXP does it again. Glad to have discovered this band.

I love both KEXP (especially Cheryl's interviews) and Widowspeak and let out a little squeal when they were going to do a session, specially with the wonderful Cheryl Waters. But this really blew me away and was sonically beyond expectations! So amazing and like others are saying this beautiful blissed out Mazzy Star style vibe is just gorgeous :) It made my week, thank you!

True Blue is just an absolute treat of a song ❤

Everything is simple 'til it's not Learned to love the ropes when you were caught See they could be braided a different way And sinking into nothing - you learn to stay Singers tend to hide the truth Or you hear it, if it speaks to you But what do you expect, it serves them well To edit anything that's fit to tell I'm no better, and I'm no worse I'm still around but it's a curse And you'll just do the best you can And time will call you a good man And sing your praise, because you would Sing it yourself because you could But what do I expect, it serves you well To edit anything that's fit to tell Everything is simple 'til it's not Learned to love the ropes when you were caught Everything is simple 'til it's not Everything is simple

Great band, love the new album. They should be way bigger... support artists like these!

Her voice remind me to Hope Sandoval

I love that riff (forgive me is my terminology is off) on Everything Is Simple. It's like musical honey.

"Breadwinner" from one of their older albums is the BEST SONG

Just about to go out and see them play live for the 2nd time. They just get better and better.

What a great performance. Molly's breathy voice, and the sway of amplitude between her rhythm guitar and Robert's lead guitar, the fantastic baselines and fills, and quietly busy drums that drive everything home. Such a talented band. And of course the KEXP engineers, who are otherworldly. This might be my new favorite KEXP studio performance.

A fantastic band.

God Bless You, Cheryl. Thank you for continuing to host, and keep on keeping on, while showcasing such great young talent....

discovered these only a few months ago... fell in love after only one song, and their discography has been on rotation ever since

A very unrated band, they are super interesting. Love the eclectic images that inspire the lyrics. The meter of their composing is very unique and memorable. Thanks for doing this update Cheryl and staff.

wow my goodness her voice… sends me away. melting

6 months ago or so I had a mandatory class and had to get up at 5 am to take the train. I'm not a morning person so it felt terrible. On the way to the station on an empty road 'everything is simple' came on the car radio. It was pure magic. Didn't knew them. Now it's my favorite album of the year. Lots of love from Belgium! Looking forward to your show @Trix!

Absolutely beautiful 🖤

Truly excellent band. Saw them twice this year, and they are phenomenal live.

The vocals and guitar work and style(s) love this group

She still takes my breath away 🖤🖤

Fantastic performance, thank you. Hope to see you live someday.

Saw them open for Lord Huron in Arkansas bout 7 years ago. Killer band.

Wow this band is awesome. I discover so much great music through KEXP

A dreamscape of sound. Perfect for sitting on red rock and watching the sun set.

Pure, this is pure and clean. I feel the crisp open sound in my Soul. A slight echo of heaven in a speaker.

Brilliant - see you in Hackney!

The vocals and guitar are just superb.

Love this band!

That god damn rickenbacker is doing it for me.

This Dude is Amazing. Such a cool Giutar Play.

Molly what a beautiful person you are. I listen to the music of Widowspeak for since I was 15 years old and I never (shame on me) looked up who these people were. Now I know, the music is even more enchanting.

Can't wait to see these guys in Madrid tonight, very cool band!

Really good!

ótimo som, gostei muito, Obrigado KEXP :)

Fantastic.

so beautiful

Im happy youtube just randomly recommended me this. Good music

Agh so good!!

Someone said you had moved to the ocean And now it makes sense I passed the house, but I didn't stop I just felt tired I guess I feel something when I hear your name in passing Clear as a bell When I hear someone singing you or like you Not as well True blue Mm True blue Still talking about you You talked like you'd be remembered When you told me your name You waltzed around meeting strangers But I liked you the same We danced on the weekend 'Cause then we had plans Good people are hard to find I keep them, when I can True blue Mm True blue Still talking about you Do you ever get tired of swimming Are you sleeping more in the west? Wash your hair with peppermint and lemon Palomine on your breath The pull of the tide was too great, I know You meant as well as you could Just wanted something to write on a stone To tell everyone you were good True blue Mm True blue Still talking about you True blue True blue

Her soft spoken voice intertwined with the sublime guitar riffs is really great

Very Cool !!!!!

randomly found this today. Love this and never heard them before and big props to the lead guitar player I checked out his channel and he has some good tunes as well.

Just listened to the album & have to say that this live performance sounds much better, I’m surprised how subdued the lead guitar is on the recorded album. The band should record the album as a live session imo as a second release, kind of reminds me how hatful of hollow by the Smiths sounded so much better than the studio recordings because the band had gigged & become comfortable with the material enough that it had much more life & vitality. I like the album too though, but it’s a different experience, this was a really great performance & I’m happy to have been introduced to them.

Great!!

Beautiful.

Great set!

Well, there you go again introducing me to another great band. You rock KEXP! Keep it up.

So beautiful ..sound,angelical voice like Hope Sandoval,Opal & Others... Perfecto👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

oh my holy smokes what a voice! beautiful sounding band

Aplausos👏👏👏👏 Mi banda favorita

They were so good live on August 19th in Wilmington, DE! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

what a great band!

FINALLY. i really love their latest album

Very refreshing to hear something musical

Wooow i love it

I just want to say: WOW!!!

めっちゃいいー！ありがとー

God damn, I come back so often.

The tone and intention of every sound is perfect.

Widowspeak es una banda infravalorada, no se le da el reconocimiento que se merece. Son auténticas estrellas de rock alternativo.

Cheryl is a great interviewer. Great. And yeah, True Blue is an incredible song.

FRICK, they're good live... 🤯🤦🔥

Magical guitar riffs sheesh

this is great, and I'm still on the 1st song!

what a voice, so beautiful~!

wow that was good

Eu amo a Molly!!

I like it :)

Deserves more views

🔥

Genialne.. opinia po pierwszych dwóch nutkach ♫

Niente male per niente 👌🏼

wow

The talent here is undisputed holy f

I think only good people appreciate this kind of music

I love you guys! Greetings from Ukraine!

LOVE

que voz tan dulce

Fave tracks btw: one of the good ones, the jacket, and stoned

Reminiscent of Mazzy Star and the Pastels, a Scottish band from many years ago. Maybe a little Cowboy Junkies and a dash of the Joy Formidable as well.

Really enjoying this. And...she really likes to talk :)

OH MAN !! Love this band so much !!! Thank you KEXP ! ! 🔥

繊細で美しい音楽だなぁ

I've never heard a Rickenbacker sound that good!

They have a great sound. Thanks for the intro, KEXP. Hope you're paying your sound guy a whole lot haha

I fucking love that PNW sound. Shit is so peaceful there.

Love this band’s sound, the vocals, guitars, drums, bass lyrics (did I miss anything?) Yet another great session and interview by Cheryl. Also, Molly belongs to Tacoma.

Rob is a professional

Обожаю этот мягкий голос! Занимаюсь ремонтом старого дома под эту музыку)
