Canadian songwriter Ben Caplan’s first single from his new album Old Stock (due out June 15th) is dark, witty, and energetic. Those are three adjectives that wouldn’t normally make sense together, but in context, "Widow Bride" is all three. There is a sense of mystery in the eastern European chordal structure, the lyrics are smart and interesting, and the driving arrangement ties whole track together. Dynamic and confident, "Widow Bride" shows Caplan’s songwriting talent and highlights a gorgeous assortment of textures. –Geena Kloeppel
