163. THE JACKET by Widowspeak

I've mentioned it before and I'll say it again - this band reminds me so much of Mazzy Star that it's almost a bit eery. So, if you're a Hope Sandoval fan and/or into the whole dream pop/shoegaze scene, you'll do well to give this just released 2022 record or the previously covered album, Plum, a spin. The band has evolved their sound a bit from the previous outing, incorporating some country elements and even some psychedelia in the opening track, 'While You Wait.' This is Sunday morning music that works well any day of the week, any time of the day. Be sure to also check out, 'Forget It,' 'Everything Is Simple' and 'Slow Dance.'
