Taken from a split 7″ with Kiwi luminaries The Bats, Boomgates present their sunny disposition on Widow Maker with vivid images of time and nature evoked within the genius lyricisms. There’s a certain sunken-heartedness within the ambiguity of the titular subject – “Let the widow maker, drop her branch” – giving an air of resigning to the inevitable while cherishing the sweetness of untouched nature. The vocal one-two of Brendan Huntley and Steph Hughes is as great as it was on Boomgates’ debut full-length.
