The Staves have changed since their debut album was released in 2012. Of course, the sisters haven't abandoned their beautiful, signature close harmonies, but they have bolstered them with a clutch of multi-layered, hugely ambitious songs, recorded with the scale and confidence that can only come after three years on the road.

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. Reflecting on the past, the songs are at first filled with sadness and contemplation before evolving to defiance and hope, with The Staves' voices proving, yet again, that no matter how they're accompanied, they will always remain centre stage.

Here’s the video for our new song 'I'll Never Leave You Alone' which you can watch now on YouTube! We really enjoyed pulling together these photos and videos from the various and often transient moments of our lives on tour and in the studio these past few years that have lead up to making this new album. We hope you enjoy, too! Thank you to the many people involved along the way that have captured these moments with us. Xxx
