Upper Darby, PA. (Top40 Charts/ Relapse Records) On True Widow's highly anticipated third album 'Circumambulation', the Dallas heavy 'stonegaze' trio hone in on their trademark syrupy simplicity with absolute perfection. Equal parts drone, post-rock and shoegaze, 'Circumambaulation' is the band's most, controlled, concise and realized effort yet. Simultaneously True Widow's darkest and poppiest record, 'Circumambaulation' is a moody triumph of a record perfect for both super late nights, and early Sunday mornings. Rarely does a band capture the vibe of dreary haze together with sticky male/female harmonies so infectiously. True Widow's 'Circumambulation' is an easy top contender for record of summer, if not all of 2013.
"True Widow is a band that uses volume as an instrument - not for noise, not for metallic machismo, but a way to convey the weight of the world." -NPR
"…a superb collection, with clarity of purpose, excellent material, and a pleasingly mesmeric quality... From concept to final execution, True Widow have laid down an album so strong that I can't see anything usurping it as album of the year for me (or anyone else who gives it a few listens)." -Drowned In Sound
"(True Widow) seamlessly pull together elements of shoegaze, drone, and hard rock" - Consequence of Sound
"wrapped in spidery melody, reverb-haunted twang and plodding, almost processional rhythms" - Alternative Press
