The Staves - Good Woman (Ltd.1Cd Softpak)

Facts 2021 release. Good Woman was written and recorded in a time of tremendous turmoil and change forthe band, between theending of relationships, thedeath oftheir beloved mother, andthebirth of Emily's first child. The album is a testament tothe Stavely-Taylors' strength and that of other women; to sisters, mothers, and daughters; to love, loss, and change; and to trying to be a good woman. The band explains: "We have been working on this for a long time and are thrilled to share the title track. 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. Of 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 nights 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. "
