"took some time to rearrange all the things I can't change..."
"Inside" by Costa Mesa, California based WIDOWS GOLD is the kind of song that seeps into you. It's utter power and beauty lie in the real, live quality of the studio recording and the decision to keep any added production down to a minimum. I absolutely adore the guitar shapes and Madeline Star's vocal persona that somehow feels empowered but has a patina of melancholy too. You can feel sonic tentacles of 90's post grunge indie rock and 80's divergent new wave especially in the sparkling, pretty nature of the guitar work on the verses and when "Inside erupts into the chorus I love the feverish drum work (I thought of early Larry Mullen Jr) and the evocative bass work built on bass chording and thirds.

WIDOWS GOLD press notey stuff reveal this:
["Inside" is song about unconditional love – accepting all the flaws and being truly vulnerable with another person by letting past doubts go. The composition juxtaposes intimate instrumentation in the verses with explosive choruses and concludes with a triumphant outro leaving you with a sense of euphoria.]
AS a female fronted outfit that at their core is built around the husband/wife duo Ben Sauer [guitar] and Madeline Star [vocals] the sound is wildly original. I, for whatever reason thought of a cross generational sound, an amalgam of artists like Smashing Pumpkins, The Strokes, Courtney Barnett and The Chameleons.
"Inside" is from WIDOWS GOLD's upcoming debut album "Love Drops".

WIDOWS GOLD is a female-fronted four piece out of Costa Mesa, CA.
Their sound calls back to the early '00s post-punk revival out of New York mixed with a modern take on '80s new wave.
