The Staves are set to release their third album next year.
'Good Woman' is scheduled to arrive on February 5 via Atlantic Records. The new LP will feature the previously revealed single Trying, alongside the newly shared title track, a loose, plaintive indie-folk number that deals in discordant drums and acoustic guitars. The sibling trio said:
“It’s taken us a long time to get here but we are so excited to announce our new album, 'Good Woman’.
“We have been working on this for a long time and are thrilled to share the title track with you. When we think about making this album we think about moments and snapshots of all the different contexts we were in as it was made. Living in each other’s pockets and then living with oceans between us. On voice notes and field recordings and ideas in emails sent across continents. We think of homesickness and family. Of being an outsider. Of endless notebooks and scraps of paper. Of studios in the winter and recordings under the summer sun. Of rainy London days and long American night with coffees and beers, dogs and cats. We think of love. Big, big love. Our Mum. Our Dad, Our friends. And of loss. Death and birth. Womanhood, motherhood. Sisterhood.
“And coming home.”
The forthcoming record will follow the group's 2018 live EP, 'Pine Hollow', which was preceded by their last full-length, 2017's 'The Way Is Read', a collaborative effort with New York City ensemble yMusic.
