The Staves Unveil 'Tongue Behind My Teeth' Video - Watch Now
Tuesday, 18 September 2012
Written by Elliott Batte
Folk rock trio The Staves have today unveiled their brand new video for the track ‘Tongue Behind my Teeth’, which is taken from their debut album ‘Dead & Born & Grown’, out November 12th.
2012 has found The Staves mapping their upward trajectory on the road, spending the best part of each month shared equally between North America and the UK. US and Canadian tours with Bon Iver, The Civil Wars, and as part of the Communion promoted ‘Austin to Boston’ tour alongside Ben Howard has been interspersed with their own headline UK tours and a busy Summer of festival performances. Upon this debut album’s release, the band will head across the arenas of Europe and the UK as special guests to new friends and fans, Bon Iver.
‘Dead & Born & Grown’ is a record that showcases their songwriting and their voices to quietly beautiful effect. Featuring recent EP tracks ‘Mexico’, ‘Pay Us No Mind’, and ‘Wisely & Slow’, long-standing live favourites ‘Facing West’ and ‘Winter Trees’ receive their proper studio time and are as affecting on tape as they are up on stage.
“I think being sung to is the nicest thing in the world. There’s nothing more comforting or enjoyable.” Emily Staveley-Taylor, eldest of the three sisters who comprise The Staves, is attempting to distil the band’s appeal. “And I would hope,” she adds gently, “that this is what people feel when they hear us sing.”
