Widowspeak are releasing a new album, Expect the Best, on August 25 via Captured Tracks. Previously the band shared a video for its first single, “Dog.” Now the band has shared another song from the album, the hazy “When I Tried.” With frontwoman Molly Hamilton’s Hope Sandoval-esque vocals, it sounds like Mazzy Star given a psych-rock makeover. Listen to it below via Stereogum (who premiered it), followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

A previous press release said of the band’s sound on the album: “Sonically, they exist somewhere in the overlap between somber indie rock, dream pop, slow-core, and their own invented genre, ‘cowboy grunge.’”
