Track of the Week: True Widow – Skull Eyes

truewidowTexas stonegazers True Widow are back with a brand new video titled ‘Skull Eyes’ this week, a single lifted from their new album that will be released on Kemado Records this month.

The 3 piece band who tour constantly in the US have a new record that combines shoegaze indie and stoner rock that sits somewhere between what Dead Meadow, Codeine and Earth manage to bring together combining mesmerising riffs and luscious vocals that border on stoner but sit deep in hypnotic psych.

Look out for the album As High As The Highest Heavens And From The Center To The Circumference Of The Earth, out on May 2nd as it will be one of those come down records you just need to have in your collection.

Watch: New video from Atmosphere

It’s another video from those Minnesotans – Atmosphere have dropped some visuals for the track She’s Enough from their new album The Family Sign.

Not only is the tune a banger, but the video is excellent and reminds you of the days when all you had to do to get a girl was put chewing gum in her hair. Those were the days. Keep your eyes open for the cameo to end all cameos in the lunch hall.

Huge.
