The Staves have shared two new songs, Tired As Fuck and Train Tracks.
The tracks follow the sibling trio's recent collaboration with Toothless on The Sirens as well as last year's 'Sleeping In A Car' EP and sophomore album, 'If I Was'.
Introducing the songs on their Facebook page, the band said:
"Tired As Fuck was a song written in the midst of a relationship breaking down. Lamenting (among other things) the lack of some sort of guidance in that kind of situation, but also accepting and resigning yourself to the fact that you have to soldier on. Keep going. There is no helping hand.
Train Tracks is the beginning of something new and how confusing and difficult that can be when you're really just as clueless as anyone! The two tracks bookend each other in that respect."
Check out the Dan Huiting-directed video for Tired As Fuck, along with Train Tracks, below.
The Staves will headline this year's Bushstock, which will return for its seventh year on June 10. Also set to appear at the multi-venue London festival are Aine Cahill, Basia Bulat, FOURS, Gordi, Jade Bird, Krusoe, Liv Dawson, Palace Winter, and Ten Tonnes.
