The Staves new album, If I Was, will be released on 2 February (Atlantic Records).
Recorded over five trips across the Atlantic to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and produced by Justin Vernon (of Bon Iver), If I Was takes The Staves' original blueprint of sublimely harmonised British indie-folk and gives it an injection of muscle and a much-heightened ambition.
Just one listen to the Autumn release of their Blood I Bled EP will tell you The Staves have changed since their 2012 debut album, with a scale and confidence that can only come after three relentless years on the road. 'Blood I Bled' is also the opening track on the album. The song lay dormant while they performed all over the world, including appearing alongside Mumford & Sons at Glastonbury and tours with Bon Iver.
The album is as stunning as the snow-covered landscape it was recorded in; at once deeply personal to each sister, fuelled by heartbreak and individual turbulence, it's also full of hope, redemption and positivity for an uncertain future.
"It was magical," adds Jessica. "The snow was neck-high outside."
