Oracle Sisters detail their second studio album, Divinations

After releasing "Alouette" earlier this month, as well as being nominated for a UK Music Video Award, "Riverside" is a song born of the band’s innate love of melody and arrangement. It harkens back to their roots in folk and country music of their earlier EPs, melding it with this newer, more direct sound on upcoming album, Divinations.

In support of the album, the band will embark on their biggest UK and European tour to date, stopping by at London’s KOKO on 2 April, as well as La Cigale in their current residence of Paris.

Composing as a true trio for the first time, Oracle Sisters pieced together sketches formed during stolen moments on tour. These fragments coalesced into Divinations, an album shaped by the band’s nomadic existence. The recording sessions spanned cozy Parisian studios, a barn in northern France, and the storied Valentine Studios in Los Angeles. In comparison, their debut was written and recorded in an old carpet factory during the second Covid lockdown on the Greek island of Hydra.

While their work may not consciously reflect specific worldly events, or places, they seek to embrace the universal and offer a space for healing. “Good music would make sense to a farmer in 17th century France as it would to a pastry chef in Slovenia in the 21st century,” shares Lazar. “It’s not written for any temporal powers that be. It’s about expressing our common humanity and taking it from there.”
