The Fat Angel Sings

A little further down the stoner rock side of the spectrum is Dallas, TX, trio True Widow. Their combination of fuzzed out, almost sludgy music and ethereal dual male and female vocals makes them something extra special that falls just outside of the typical shoegaze sound. The suitably epic title of their 2011 record “As High as the Highest Heavens and from the Center to the Circumference of the Earth” begets some of their more metallic leanings, but the music is equal parts crushing and delicate and pairs well with a nice, dry red wine and some Cocteau Twins.
