True Widow -- As High as the Highest Heavens and From the Center to the Circumference of the Earth


7/10

Some album are about mood more than songs, and True Widow's very longly named As High as the Highest Heavens and From the Center to the Circumference of the Earth certainly has that vibe. This is slowed down rock, with a constant, steady, walking rhythm, a razor-edged, yet fuzzed-out guitar crunch, and alternating male and female vocals. The band often enter long, spaced-out, droney passages, with all three musicians in lock-step. Sometimes, like on my personal favorite, "Boaz," they explode. It is, as the kids say these days...a definite mood. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go kick myself in the nuts.

Those last two sentences are hilarious! But yeah...some of that millenial slang can be cringe-inducing. "Facts" has a tendency to drive me nuts. No, just saying "facts" does not provide factual information, and what is being considered "facts" is probably just some trendy metanarrative without a statistic or a reason to back it up. Ahem.
You now how hard it was not to just respond to this comment with:
FACTS.
Lol, but I mostly did it!
