Brooklyn duo Widowspeak have released a new single, “Ballad of the Golden Hour”, in anticipation of their upcoming sophomore album, Almanac. The new album from Molly Hamilton and Robert Earl Thomas is due to release January 22, 2013 on Captured Tracks and will look to build on the success of their 2011 self-titled debut.

Producer Kevin McMahon, who was previously worked on albums with Swans, Cult of Youth, Titus Andronicus and The Walkmen, recorded Alamanac in a hundred year old barn in the Hudson River Valley of New York State which certainly suits the group's haunting vibe.

Take a listen to “Ballad of the Golden Hour” below and then be sure to check out the Almanac track list and Widowspeak upcoming tour dates. We're already taking over/unders on when the song will make its first appearance in a commercial.
