Widowspeak unveil new song, "No Driver"

NYC duo Widowspeak have shared "No Driver", the latest single from their upcoming album, Roses.

"No Driver" follows lead single "If You Change" released last month, and arrives as a pop preview of Roses. Speaking about the track, vocalist Molly Hamilton explains that it “is about knowing and loving people who seem to thrive being on autopilot, at least for a while. It’s written from the perspective of trying to be supportive, and knowing it can be kind of magic when you’re in it, but also just waiting patiently for whenever they’re ready to move on from destructive behaviour.

She continues, "I also kind of wrote it to my younger self. I’m 1000% on the other side of my wilder years (quit drinking almost seven years ago and now have a baby) but I definitely felt aimless for a long time. I care now, and caring about things and people and having a reason… is the whole point.”

Discussing the video, Hamilton adds: "The video riffs on 'Jesus take the wheel'; that’s it, that’s the concept. We have our friend Gary Canino from Dark Tea playing a Driver who’s kind of feeling the weight of the world, and Jesus (Johnathan Chriest) takes over as he goes about his night, dropping off the Mysterious Business Lady (Moira Spahić) and then picking up a couple other passengers. Kind of a ragtag group of people, Jesus driving them home."
