Will Butler + Sister Squares - Will Butler + Sister Squares [Natural w/ Blue Swirl Vinyl] (New Vinyl LP)

Sister Squares are Sara Dobbs, Miles Francis, Jenny Shore and Julie Shore. What made them a musical unit was working with Grammy winner and Oscar nominee Will Butler. This is their self-titled debut album. The band emerged as collaborators from their origins as Butler's touring band, first put together to support 2015's Policy. While considering a solo record, Butler found himself turning to the band for feedback on lyrics and song structures, eventually asking Miles if they'd produce the album. From there, the music flowed. Will Butler + Sister Squares projects widescreen emotional landscapes with a warm, humane soul. "Long Grass" is like a Harry Styles song sung with 20 more years of life behind it, and the back half is a danceable choral record that showcases what Sister Squares bring to Butler's sound. "It came out uniquely ours," Miles explains, "a tiny bespoke musical bloom that can never be exactly reproduced. Those kinds of moments between us are embedded all over this album."
