Editor's note

The Staves: three sisters and their quiet harmonies

A folk trio from Watford whose layered vocals and thoughtful lyrics have shifted toward pop over three albums.

For a good sense of them, try 'Winter Trees' or 'Devotion.' Both have that signature blend and a direct, uncluttered feel.

Their debut 'Dead & Born & Grown' in 2012 put them on the map with those sibling harmonies and a folk feel. Songs like 'Winter Trees' and 'Make It Holy' show how they handle personal, quiet moments without overdoing it. They've kept that vocal blend even as their sound picked up some electronic touches on later records.

They started singing together as kids in Watford, influenced by the folk music their parents played. After forming the band in 2010, they put out 'Dead & Born & Grown' in 2012, then 'If I Was' in 2015 and 'Good Woman' in 2017. They haven't released a full album since 'Good Woman,' though singles like 'Gone Tomorrow' have come out.

Archive material and source history

The Staves are three sisters from Watford, England: Emily, Jessica, and Camilla Staveley-Taylor. They started singing together as kids, influenced by the folk music their parents played at home. In 2010, they formed the band and put out their first album, 'Dead & Born & Grown,' in 2012.

That debut got a lot of attention for its harmonies and thoughtful lyrics. They followed it with 'If I Was' in 2015 and 'Good Woman' in 2017, letting their sound shift a bit toward pop and electronic touches while keeping those layered vocals. Songs like 'Make It Holy' and 'Winter Trees' show how they handle quiet, personal moments.

In 2018, a former tour manager accused them of bullying, which they denied. The band kept working after that, but the episode was a rough patch. They haven't put out a full album since 'Good Woman,' though they've released singles like 'Gone Tomorrow' and 'No Me, No You, No More.'
