San Francisco's Grass Widow have a new split 7" (with the band Nature) on the way next month. It comes via M'Lady's Records. The label is relevant, primarily because it is the most recent in a long string for the trio: There was the three-part-harmony laden, '90s-PacNW indebted LP Past Time for Kill Rock Stars in 2010, and a self-titled set the year before that for Make-A-Mess. And there was a Captured Tracks 12" that year, too. You don't shift labels each time up to the mic without a little inherent aesthetic twitch, and that comes to bear on "Disappearing Industries": it's pristinely pretty indie-pop of a past era, with vocal sweetness that flits off into dissonant instrumental shifts. Tics of the trade:
M'LR 036A - GRASS WIDOW - DISAPPEARING INDUSTRIES by M'lady's Records

"Disappearing Industries" is out 2/28 via M'lady's Records.
