True Widow - Circumambulation flac album

For the album by True Widow, see Circumambulation (album). Relief of ancient Indian Buddhists (monks at left, a lay couple at right, statues behind) circumambulating a stupa in a chaitya temple Circumambulation of temples or deity images is an integral part of Hindu and Buddhist devotional practice (known in Sanskrit as pradakśina or pradakshinaṇā). It is also present in other religions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Circumambulation is common in many Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox services. In the Coptic tradition, during the liturgy, the priest circumambulates while an acolyte (altar boy) holds a cross high on the opposite side of the altar.

True Widow work by thoroughly exploring the core emotions in the rather coarse template they've etched out for themselves. There's a skill in doing that- when rock acts go base, it's usually for a cheap thrill and churn, a chance to get their shit-eating grins on while spilling cheap beer all over the stage. Circumambulation is smarter than that, but there's also a sense that Phillips and his band are bleeding out crude rock moves (crunchy, simplistic riffs; meat-and-potatoes drumming) to see what degree of sentiment they can find down there. This album should expand True Widow's audience, despite the barely perceptible advance over Highest Heavens. The climate feels right this time, especially with Deafheaven picking up plaudits everywhere for mixing dreamy material with something harder. This doesn't go as high and wide as Sunbather, instead feeling more like its introverted half-sibling.

Circumambulation ‎(CD, Album). Then True Widow took the stage and blew my mind. When I returned to the merch table to purchase one of their records, I realized I had already done so. This record is superb.

Following up on the gorgeous (and epically titled) . True Widow take their sound in a more propulsive direction with Circumambulation, the Texan trio's debut for Relapse Records. While True Widow are still working in their signature blend of stoner metal, drone, and shoegaze, they change the formula up with an increase in tempo. While not exactly fast, there's a certain momentum to the album that's hard to ignore, especially given the somewhat glacial pacing of their earlier work.
