Story: As Dan Phillips’ previous band Slowride (moderately well known for their pummeling onslaught and lyrical wit) dissolved, the songwriter was slowly taking a different turn. He moved away from his native Texas to Massachusetts to be trained in the old ways of woodworking and for a while there was a question of if he would ever craft another tune. While the cold and solitude certainly had their effect they allowed him to reflect and turn inwards to build something new. Songs started to emerge, but they were not what was expected. The songs that would become the first True Widow material were extremely personal, heavy, melodic, and surprisingly not at breakneck speeds. They left room for the notes and melodies to breathe as the depth of the lyrics slowly seeped in over time. Aiming to do something entirely different from their peers. What you have before you is the outcome of their work and their first album. It’s something that may be hard to define and not all together familiar, but ultimately rewarding for those who take the journey.

definitely. We got this at my college's radio station and decided it was good enough to keep, even though it wasn't post-rock as we expected from the intro. Probably would not know of this record any other way. More people should listen to it.
