Singles - The Staves - Black and White & Teeth White - live on La Blogotheque
The Staves, three sisters from England, recently released their second album, If I Was, a lush and folky rush of harmonies that (similar to their album cover) make me picture frosted cabins in the countryside. They're a mix between Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes (the two best bands in this type of genre), and it's no coincidence that Justin Vernon (the mastermind of Bon Iver) produced this gorgeous album.
One of my favorite tracks, "Let Me Down," harkens back to the best of Bon Iver, a simple acoustic guitar, harmonies, and a voice that makes your heart swell:
But that song doesn't do these ladies justice to their abilities. The performance below of two tracks from their new album is really awe inspiring.
(And if you haven't checked out La Blogotheque's YouTube channel, please do, it will take you down the rabbit hole of unique live performances that you won't forget. I'm sure to post some more in the future!)
