The Staves

The Profile

The Staves are an English trio of sisters (Jessica, Camilla, and Emily Staveley-Taylor) from Watford, known for close vocal harmonies and folk-influenced music.

They opened shows for Bon Iver and worked with Justin Vernon on the album If I Was. Their debut album Dead & Born & Grown was released in 2012.

The review describes If I Was as a melancholic, harmony-driven folk record shaped by Justin Vernon's production. Vocal arrangements and Emily's voice are highlighted as strong points. Some songwriting is called familiar but effective for the right mood.
