The Staves perform 'Icarus' for The Crypt Sessions
-----------------------
A cold, grey January morning in North London was the setting for the first days filming of the new season of The Crypt Sessions. Heaters were on, lights warming up and teas and bacon sarnies all round for the crew when the intercom buzzed and The Staves climbed the well worn Crypt staircase. The temperature rose in an instant.
These three sisters from Watford bring warmth through their friendliness, talent and most importantly beautiful music. As soon as the harmonies were rising up through the room smiles sprung up all around and the transformation was complete.
If you haven't heard about them already, you will do soon. The Staves grew up on a diet of Motown, Buffalo Springfield, Simon and Garfunkel to name a few. Shared music through family sing alongs, squabbles and car journeys. These days, thankfully, they are sharing their voices with the world and what voices they are.
On tour as we speak with Crypt Session fav, Michael Kiwanuka, a second E.P. imminent and their debut album to come in the summer. Sit back and enjoy, The Staves.

The best female group ever. Their harmonies and song structures are beyond compare.

[@kylesnow525]

For some reason at certain points all I can think of is that scene with the sirens from 'O' Brother Where Art Thou?'.

[@marcomariona3944]

oh god, this makes me sooooooooooooooo happy, sooo so so happy

[@Skylarrrrrrrrr]

this is one my favorite Staves song. they seriously have the voices of angels.

[@dogdaybreak3157]

My Lord are the Staves amazing! Their songs are so beautifully sung and yet so creative at the same time. Love them!!

[@Proxylfc]

They are very soothing after a hard day

[@connieismusical]

Seen them live last night with Bon Iver. I cannot describe how amazing it was. GO SEE THEM LIVE.

[@emmaw944]

I just can't get enough of the staves the are even more amazing live 💞 xxx

[@jefferyburton4557]

+Emma Williams saw them as the opening act for Bon Iver before we knew who they were and met them in person afterwards. And you're right, they ARE amazing live. Can't get enough

[@gerrett108]

They are a brain/soul massage..... Drifting into another realm

[@PlantsNepal]

Ideas hang before me
Oh, but a breath away
They flicker into being
And then begin to fade
And when I'm tired of sitting
I drag my bones to bed
And when I'm tired of sleeping
I think of them instead
They're only words
Don't have to shout to be heard
I have not seen the light, for days
Like icarus before me
These wings are not my own
And I am soaring skyward
Just to tumble home
Moment has gone
I'm not the best at moving on
Nothing to say, no one would listen anyway
Anyway
I have not seen the light, for days
Ooooo...
I have not seen the light, for days
I have not seen the light, for days
And nights, for days

I just saw these amazing artists at red rocks and wanted to let them know that they have made an impact on my life, and I am so glad that music is still alive today. You are an amazing trio of pure voices and pure souls, please don't ever stop writing music.
Its so hard to find soul in music today as well beauty, you have done it!

[@smritishringi9258]

Very soothing 😊

[@MoeaNimmo]

so much clarity hmm nice

[@jamievidd775]

One of the best groups on the planet. Amazing how they make it look so easy.

[@tomomale]

Not exactly.
If the Bronte's had colaberated on their novels they'd be more like them.
I get the idea though and it's close enough.

[@leicestertiger09]

[@wattsinabox]
