The Staves celebrated the release of their new album, If I Was, with a performance at Wilton's Music Hall in London last month. The concert included, among other songs from the album, the tune "Teeth White." You can watch the performance of that song below, along with a previously released performance from the concert of "Make It Holy" with the album's producer, Justin Vernon. The trio is currently touring Europe and has just announced a tour of the United Kingdom for this autumn, details of which can be found at thestaves.com. The Staves also perform this summer at the Eaux Claries Music Festival in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where they recorded the album with Vernon.
Nonesuch Records released If I Was in the United States on CD and digitally in March, with the vinyl to follow next week. The trio brings "angelic harmonies" to the "consistently daring" album, writes the New York Times' Jon Pareles. "[T]he songs are illuminated from within." "This entire record is essential listening," raves Stereogum. "The Staveley-Taylor sisters possess the kind of voices that make able-bodied writers lose control of their capacity to avoid terms like ethereal, angelic, and otherworldly."
You can get the album today on iTunes, Amazon, and in the Nonesuch Store, where you can also pre-order the vinyl album in the US for next week.
