The Staves explore hidden emotions on "I Don’t Say It, But I Feel It"

"This was the first song we recorded for the album and we had just written it so there’s a freshness and an immediacy to it for us. The song is about passing surges of emotions and memories that often don't get expressed or articulated. It’s exploring that state of stillness on the outside but with a flurry of things happening below the surface and how, often, we don’t let on what we’re really feeling most of the time or how much we’re feeling it," Camilla and Jess explain.

"Even the question ‘how are you?’ can prove difficult to find the answer to… The song came from a train-ride down to Brighton with friends with the scenery whizzing by - the transient flashes as things come in and out of focus. The song is built around this two-chord pattern that kind of chugs along and motors through, picking out these jolts of feeling or memory that rush by. “

Having recently announced a run of UK and European shows for May and June 2024, the duo have also announced two extra shows in London and Dublin due to demand. Leeds, Cambridge, London, Edinburgh and Dublin shows are now sold out.

The Staves' forthcoming album, All Now, produced by John Congleton (Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen) was announced along with the single, "You Held It All" – the band’s first release on Communion Records and their first recording without the duo’s sister, Emily Staveley-Taylor, who wasn’t present for touring on the last run, stepping back from the road with the birth of her first baby (and has recently had a second child too).
