DALLAS trio TRUE WIDOW have announced their fourth album Avvolgere,
due out this Sept. 23 on CD/2xLP/DLX 2xLP/Digital via Relapse Records.
The forthcoming LP perfects the formula that 2013's Circumambulation established.
Avvolgere rocks and rolls with serene, rounded climaxes
and steep, jangling choruses that engulf the listener with waves of downbeat,
saccharine melodies and mesmerizing distortion. TRUE WIDOW's
signature alternation between male and female vocals helps further blur
the boundaries between the heft of stoner rock, the droning atmosphere of
shoegaze, and the twangy catchiness of blues and indie rock.
It's both concise and circuitous - the album takes you
on a journey that you can't ever quite predict or expect. Avvolgere is TRUE WIDOW sounding
more infectious and consummate than ever before.
The first single from the album, “Entheogen,” is streaming now at this location and is available as an instant download with digital pre-orders. Physical pre-orders are also available at the same link.
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."

TRUE WIDOW craft patient, rounded music that calls to
mind images of foggy dawns and parched fields. Formed in November 2007, TRUE
WIDOW released their self-titled debut a year later and immediately caught
the ears of the underground. At its core, the music of TRUE WIDOW is
powered by the driving, guitar-dense aspects of shoegaze and stoner rock and
the heavy, low-moving evocations of ambient music.
Following their auspicious start, the band returned in 2011 with their sophomore full length, As High As The Highest Heavens And From The Center To The Circumference Of The Earth. As High As The Highest Heavens saw the band solidify their direction and further mature their sound, but it wasn't until 2013's Circumambulation (TRUE WIDOW's debut album for independent label Relapse Records) that they reached the heights - both professionally and compositionally - they have now. Circumambulation garnered the band widespread praise both within and beyond the metal world and was praised by publications as diverse as Pitchfork, NPR, Decibel Magazine, and Metal Injection. The band followed up the success of that album with extensive touring across the US, Russia, and Europe, including numerous appearances at renowned festivals such as Roadburn, Fun Fun Fun Fest, Psycho California, and more.
True Widow is:
