' '
,: With Plum, the songwriting partnership rooted in the creative :,
: rapport between bandleader Molly Hamilton and guitarist Robert :
:' Earl Thomas continues to expand on shared visions, delving ':
,: deeper into what was always there: dusty guitars, ear-worm :,
: melodies, warm expansive arrangements. Each entry to their :
:' catalog has marked a subtle reimagining of WidowspeakÆs sound, ':
,: though perennial points of reference remain the same: 90's dream :,
: pop, 60's psych rock, a certain unshakeable :
:' Pacific-Northwestness. Speaking to the timeless feeling of ':
,: each, the albums continue to be discovered well beyond their :,
: respective PR cycles, made beloved by new listeners through word :
:' of mouth. ':
,: :,
: The bandÆs fifth album feels comfortable and lived-in: humble in :
:' structure, heavy on mood. Perhaps that came taking time off ':
,: from the touring grind, instead working full-time jobs and :,
: settling into the rhythm of daily life in a small upstate New :
:' York town. Plum was recorded over a handful of weekends last ':
,: winter by Sam Evian (Cass McCombs, Kazu Makino, Hannah Cohen) at :,
: his Flying Cloud studio in the Catskills, and was mixed by Ali :
:' Chant (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding, Perfume Genius). In addition ':
,: to Hamilton (vocals, guitar) and Thomas (guitars, bass, synth), :,
: it features instrumental contributions by Andy Weaver (drums), :
:' Michael Hess (piano), and Sam himself (bass, synth). Plum ':
,: nestles into the bandÆs canon like it was always there, but with :,
: new textures coming to the fore, like the polyrhythmic pulse of :
:' "Amy" and "The Good Ones", or the watery, Terry ':
,: Riley-influenced track "Jeanie". :,
: :
:' Plum navigates the spaces between the lesser emotions of modern ':
,: life. HamiltonÆs lyrics speak to the unique turmoil of anyone :,
: who creates as their work, who must somehow survive off such :
:' "fruits of their labor." Yet, Widowspeak have always made a ':
,: bitter pill much easier to swallow. The majestic "Breadwinner", :,
: the luminous "Even True Love" û these songs here were made to be :
:' listened to, enjoyed. "Money" is particularly hypnotic, built ':
,: around a repeating, cyclical motif that serves as both skeleton :,
: and body. "Will you get back what you put in?" Hamilton asks :
:' over an insistent guitar riff. The line is delivered with a ':
,: knowingness that transcends its surface critiques of late-stage :,
: capitalism, asking both herself and the listener whether this :
:' is, in fact, the world we want to live in. Through Plum, ':
,: Widowspeak have brought something into the world that seems to :,
: know its own worth, even as it wonders aloud about what is to :
:' come. What value and meaning do we assign ourselves, our time, ':
,: and how do we spend it? :,
