WIDOWSPEAK - Roses - CD THE WILD SWANS one would think he’s from

one would think he’s from some faraway time and could maybe cast spells

I had always thought that perhaps it had been there as a safety to Rudy’s big 15ips Ampex deck

The Skinny and numerous other media worldwide

and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket

WIDOWSPEAK - Roses - CD THE WILD SWANS one would think he’s fromCD An album called Roses would be concerned with romantic gestures. Across the ten tracks that make up the seventh and newest Widowspeak record, intimate spaces and stages of love are captured with a nostalgic, vaseline coated lens. Candles burn inside red glass as lovers get close in a leather booth. Celebrity headshots gaze down like angels in a restaurant. Elsewhere, carnations are pressed in a black book and dancers pull each other close.
