Widowspeak - The Drive

Widowspeak doesn’t miss. It would be obnoxious if it didn’t sound so damn good. Plum was, hands down, our favorite record of 2020. And their new LP The Jacket is turning out to be another contender for record of the year. This NYC four-piece seems to be thriving in a day and age where other groups are floundering due to streaming relevancy demands, loss of bandmates, or perhaps, an innate lack of drive. While I’m not sure if “The Drive” is as macro-focused on the subject as we are, the underlying themes powering the song and our own personal sentiments remain in tune with one another. And if you’ve hear this spectacular track, you’ll agree that a drive for perpetual greatness is not a trait that Widowspeak is currently lacking.
