It Starts With a Birthstone - 200 Albums for 2024 # 119 Sour Widows - Revival of a Friend

 

Bay Areas trio release a debut album that invites the descriptions plangent and poignant. Sour Widows offers solace for those underwhelmed by the imminent Oasis reunion World Tour.

 Revival of a Friend offers something gentler and to my mind worter of celebration. Why not buy a cake at your local artisan bakery and light some candles and incense sticks in your living room, make a pot of peppermint tea and enjoy listening to this record in the company of a friend.



It's a record which reflects on difficult memories and experiences. And plays them out with singular craft and emotion. Fans of Throwing Muses, Sleater Kinney and Mazy Star might be drawn to the flame of this excellent record.
