“Last year [...] we saw excellent releases from Sister Wives, an industrial-laced quartet that explore spirituality and witchcraft in their music”
- NME
"Heavy hauntological psychedelia... most assuredly excellent"
- Shindig!
“Shrouded with a coven-clouded appeal... Locked drums push against fuzz bass and a swirl of keys, while the vocals circle the whirlpool to great effect.”
- Raven Sings The Blues
“Dark and mossy and quite promising.”
- Brooklyn Vegan
Sheffield's Sister Wives return with new single "Malady" - their first new music since their 2022 Welsh Music Prize nominated debut album, Y Gawres.
Unearthing forgotten feminist histories through myth and landscape, Sister Wives weave wild tales braiding the Welsh and English language over their signature glam-droog-acid-stomp. Haunting 4-part harmonies drift atop heavy psychedelia, avant space rock and ferocious fuzz-laden folk.
The band's songs deal with ever shifting expectations and injustices, forgone heroines, the divine feminine and the veiled mysteries of ancient lands.
"Malady" is about "an inner ‘beast’ waking up inside your body; backing you up and empowering you to stand up to bad men," they share. "It’s also about how strong females frighten said bad men and historically this power is perceived as a sickness, madness, or malady..."

Sister Wives have also experienced a line-up change since their last record, welcoming Rachael Loomes (also of R. Loomes/Haus Horo) who started writing with the band after filling in for previous guitarist Liv Willars’ maternity leave.
In recent years, Sister Wives have been in session for Marc Riley's BBC6Music show, been invited to play Green Man twice, headlined a sold-out London gig, performed on Welsh channel S4C and have shared bills with Gwenno, Self Esteem, The Lovely Eggs, The New Eves, Adwaith, and Crack Cloud.
Expect more music very soon.
