Indie duo Widowspeak have announced a new album, Roses, out on June 5th via Captured Tracks. They’ve also announced a 2026 North American tour along with the album’s lead single, “If You Change.”
Roses serves as Widowspeak’s seventh album and their first in four years following 2022’s The Jacket. The duo, comprised of married couple Molly Hamilton and Robert Earl Thomas, also welcomed their first child in between albums. The new project was inspired by the minutiae of daily life, the significance of the insignificant, and everyday rituals. They recorded Roses at the Old Carpet Factory on the Greek island of Hydra with longtime touring members Willy Muse, John Andrews, and Noah Bond.
They’ll support Roses with a 2026 North American tour running through the summer. The trek kicks off in their native New York with a show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on June 16th, followed by stops in cities like Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Raleigh, Atlanta, Nashville, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Seattle, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City, and many more. The run concludes with a show in Spokane, Washington on August 16th. See their tour dates below.

“If You Change,” the band’s first offering from Roses, is a lovely return to their signature wistful, dreamy indie rock. “Don’t want mint condition,” Hamilton sings, ruminating on her fear of change, “You’re gonna get dragged in the dirt.” Throughout, Thomas’ jangly guitar work rings out with clarity and warmth, and it even gets a little fuzzy during the song’s solo. The track also arrives with a music video starring their daughter, Peggy; she loses a Beanie Baby of a dog on the streets of Los Angeles, who then comes to life and attempts to be reunited with her (Thomas stars as the figure in the dog costume).
