THE STAVES ANNOUNCE THIRD ALBUM ‘GOOD WOMAN’ DUE FOR RELEASE ON 5TH FEBRUARY 2021 TITLE TRACK STREAMING NOW
The Staves are very excited to announce their new album ‘Good Woman’, their first in six years, due for release on Atlantic Records on 5th February 2021. The soaring title track is now streaming, listen here
Good Woman was written and recorded in a time of severe turmoil for the band, seeing the ending of relationships, the death of their beloved mother and the birth of Emily’s first child. Mostly self-produced (with John Congleton jumping on to assist), the album stands as a testament to their strength and that of other women, to sisters, mothers and daughters. To love, loss and change. To trying to be a good woman.
The trio recently released two brand new tracks, Nazareth (not found on the album) and Trying. The two tracks marked the band’s first new music since their collaborative EP with the New York based chamber ensembley Music back in 2017.
It’s been six long years since the release of the band’s acclaimed second album, If I Was, but the trio have been busy with extra-curricular. Jessica contributed vocals to Leonard Cohen’s final, posthumous record “Thanks For The Dance” produced by his son, Adam Cohen. And all three laid down their voices across a handful of tracks for Paul Weller’s recent number 1 album, On Sunset. With contributions over recent years for the likes of Lucy Rose, Bon Iver, and Flyte, those vocals remain in high demand.
The Staves have recently relaunched their podcast on Spotify. ‘Dial-A-Stave’ is an irreverent, fly-on-the-wall listen to the band’s everyday conversations with one another. Complete nonsense has rarely sounded quite so essential. A welcome late addition to your lockdown listening. Try it here
