Watch The Staves perform for The Line of Best Fit at their mom's house
While most Brits spent their summer praying for some sun, The Staves headed to the US and supported Bon Iver on his North American tour. Not bad for three Watford sisters but that’s only the tip of the iceberg for where their career trajectory will likely go in the next twelve months.
The cup of singer-songwriters espousing the new folk template has continued to brimmeth over for more than a decade and it takes something truly special to mark those who attempt to follow (and subvert) its patterns. Distinguishing themselves with a frighteningly synergous musicality, Emily, Jessica and Camilla succeed via the perfection of a 3 part harmony in debt to the likes of Simon & Garfunkel, even CSNY.
The Best Fit Sessions team headed to the band’s Watford home to capture them in an informal setting for a performance of ‘Tongue Behind My Teeth’. The Staves debut album Dead & Born & Grown is released on 12 November.
