"The band's last full-length, Almanac, showcased a lively, psychedelic strain of '70s rock'n'roll, and their following EP, The Swamps, was a bluesy, banjo-plucked ode to the Southeast. But Widowspeak's third record, All Yours, seems to strip away the group's hyper-referential past sound to something more sparse. All Yours is committed to a sunbaked, blissed-out pop rock sensibility that is noticeably lighter than their previous work. There's no big concept here or specific inspiration behind it other than making something that sounds pretty and easy to listen to. And where there first two records were dark and haunted, filled with Morricone-style guitars, All Yours is all lightly shaken maracas, dreamy acoustic melodies, and getting so stoned the world feels like velvet.Which isn't to say this record is all feel-good music to string daisy chains together".
