(#008) The Staves - Good Woman

In this week’s episode, we’re going to be listening to ‘Good
Woman’, the third studio album by The Staves.





Sisters Jessica, Camilla, and Emily Stavely-Taylor began by
performing as a folk trio in venues around their hometown of
Watford in England, before releasing their first album, ‘Dead
& Born & Grown’, in 2012. Their second, ‘If I Was’,
followed in 2015, and was a notable move towards a richer palate
of instruments and recording techniques. 





‘Good Woman’, released just last month, continues that
trajectory. Themes of patriarchy, womanhood, and the failure to
communicate punctuate perhaps their most varied and diverse album
to date.





Thank you, as always, for supporting the show. This is ‘Good
Woman’, by The Staves.





Other topics include: a real obsession with the phrase ‘sonic
landscape’, a missed opportunity with The Staves’ very own sketch
show, Chris talks a load of music theory bollocks, and episode
eight is now officially known as ‘The One with the Friends
Transition Music’. All that and more, on this episode of Between
The Tracks.
