Sister Wives - Heavy Set Sister Wives

Sheffield’s Sister Wives meld English and Welsh vocal harmonies with raw, relentless instrumentation, drawing on heavy psychedelia and avant-garde noise rock.

On Heavy Set, hags are celebrated, beasts are unleashed, and the band push noise and volume as far as they push harmony and songcraft. The single “Hairless Whisper” rages against late-stage capitalism, pairing dense, scuzzy riffs and early Black Sabbath sludge with sharp melodic hooks.

Previously nominated for the Welsh Music Prize, Sister Wives have played Green Man Festival multiple times and sold out dates across the UK. For Heavy Set, they worked with producer James Atkinson of The Stationhouse studio in Leeds to achieve their biggest sound yet. “We just wanted a big, thick, dirty sound and knew he’d get that,” says Rose Love.
