New: True Widow:: Entheogen

True Widow has shared “Entheogen” from their fourth record Avvolgere today and I’m not going to lie about not knowing what entheogen meant. I had to look up the word entheogen from dictionary.com in order to obtain its meaning and that’s ok, can you be expected to know what everything means? Just to cut to the chase, an entheogen is a kinder and more sympathetic word for psychedelic or hallucinogen.

True Widow’s doomy track “Entheogen” doesn’t come across as psychedelic though. “Entheogen” appears more insistent and features half-whispered and spoken lyrics.

“Entheogen” is a slow burning track that feels like it could collapse from its own weight if not for that propulsive bassline.

Maybe I’m reading too much into True Widow’s “Entheogen” and I should give the entire album a listen before I cast too much judgement. Perhaps it’s the context that I’m missing, it’s hard to tell when you’re only listening to one song that’s placed in the middle of an album.

The band recorded Avvolgere with Matt Pence, who recorded their 2013 release, Circumambulation, at his Echo Lab studio in Argyle, Tex. earlier this year. “Over the course of three albums,” the Wall Street Journal said in an article on the DFW-outfit, “the Dallas-based band has refined a sound rooted in focused repetition, bass-heavy guitar drones, ethereal vocals, and almost always, crawling temples.” With Avvolgere, True Widow perfects their craft, featuring serene, rounded climaxes and steep, jangling choruses that engulf the listener with waves of downbeat, saccharine melodies and mesmerizing distortion.

Avvolgere track list:

1. Back Shredder 2. Theurgist 3. F.W.T.S:L.T.M 4. The Trapper & The Trapped 5. O.O.T.P.V 6. Entheogen 7. To All That He Elong 8. Sante 9. Grey Erasure 10. What Finds Me

True Widow is D.H. Phillips (guitar/steel guitar/vocals), Nicole Estill (bass/acoustic guitar/vocals) and Slim TX (drums/piano).

Tour dates will be announced soon.

I applaud Trump for picking Race Bannon as his running mate. Hopefully he'll round out the ticket with Space Ghost, Speed Buggy, and Captain Caveman.
