Watch A Short Documentary On The Staves & Justin Vernon’s If I Was

English trio the Staves’ Justin Vernon-produced sophomore record will be out next year, and the band has shared a short documentary that gives a behind-the-scenes look at the recording process. The video was filmed on location at Vernon’s Eau Claire-based April Base Studios, where the album was recorded. “I became familiar with the Staves from an EP that was given to me by a friend, and a band that I play in live asked them to support us on a tour. When I heard the Staves singing, it’s literally like physiological … their sisterhood, their relation, and the combination of their voices is unlike anything I’ve ever heard,” Vernon said during the video. “Because I care about them so much, I wanted to invite them here, which seems like such a safe space for them to sprawl out their ideas and give them the runway and the tools and watch them grow into making a record.” Watch the video and look at the tracklist below.
