Music like True Widow

True Widow is an American rock band formed in 2007 and based in Dallas, Texas. The band's expansive guitar-driven sound has led them to be cited as "drop-tuned, slow, repetitive, heavy, dreamy, and undeniably ear-wormy". True Widow has been known for contrasting alternation between male and female vocals. To date, the band has released four albums, their eponymous album True Widow (2008), As High As the Highest Heavens and From the Center to the Circumference of the Earth (2011), Circumambulation (2013), and after extensive touring, they released Avvolgere (2016).

Phillips formerly served guitar and lead vocal duties in the more indie rock-oriented Dallas band Slowride. Following the disbandment of Slowride, he soon decided to take a break from music, and moved away from his native Texas to Massachusetts where he shifted his focus to wood art exclusively for two years. After returning to Dallas, Phillips had aspired to a heavier sound and recruited Estill as a singer-bassist, with Starks on drums, and then they formed True Widow. The band, which describes its own style of slow, heavy, cerebral music as "stonegaze", or dubbed "doomgaze" by the media, formed in November 2007.
