Almanac

"Widowspeak's Almanac strikes as a true original, as a natural evolution from the band's original concept. Sure, comparisons to other acts can be drawn on a song-by-song basis, but it's hard to find other examples that combine range and focus so expertly, making Almanac an early surprise for 2013".

"The classic rock influence is more obvious on certain tracks - 'Dyed in the Wool,' 'The Dark Age,' and 'Devil's Know' all revolve around particularly striking riffs, bluesy and suitably country-fried - but where Almanac distinguishes Widowspeak not only from its influences but from its own fairly rote past is how it comes across as uncommonly of its own time. Not 2013, really, but something lost and remembered, like how the sinister accordion and echoed halls of 'Thick as Thieves' may have you relieving an old Ray Bradbury story".

"Well, Almanac is certainly solid enough but ends up as being a qualified success - always an effortless listen and pleasant diversion, but rarely lighting a fire under the listener. This is despite it having a newly found, almost headstrong dynamism at times. Dyed In The Wool and The Dark Age both tumble along with a new, yet curiously listless charm, bolstered by bright and forthright guitar work, albeit with essentially interchangeable core ideas".
