Existing in a sonic overlap of indie rock, dream pop, downtrodden shoegaze, slow-core and the self-invented "cowboy grunge", Widowspeak uses familiar aesthetics as a narrative device, a purposeful nostalgic backdrop for songs that ask, 'How did we get here?" 'Expect The Best' sees Widowspeak find balance between opposing forces s.a. darkness and light, quiet and loud, and tension and calm.
