PRODUCED BY BRANDI CARLILE AND TIM & PHIL
HANSEROTH
“How would you feel if you got the opportunity to make your
favorite band’s album?”—Brandi
Carlile
GRAMMY-nominated The Secret Sisters’ new
album, Saturn Return, will be released February
28th 2020 on New West Records.
Produced by Brandi Carlile, Tim Hanseroth and Phil
Hanseroth, the album is now available for pre-order, which
includes an immediate download of the first single, 'Cabin' listen/share:
The duo have announced a run of UK & European shows in June as part
of their extensive world tour, including a performance at Black
Deer Festival, in addition to their appearances at AmericanaFest
UK (London) and Celtic Connections (Glasgow)
in January - full dates below; tickets for the June headline shows on sale Nov
22nd at 10am GMT.
Recorded
at Carlile’s home studio in Washington state, SATURN RETURN includes
ten songs written by Laura and Lydia Rogers and features the
real-life sisters singing individually for the first time instead
of relying solely on their trademark harmonies—something Carlile
challenged them to do. Carlile comments, “It’s really uniquely unified and
harmonious when they’re in tandem and very tumultuous and deep when they’re not
in tandem and I think for a brief, beautiful moment on this album we caught The
Secret Sisters not in tandem for the first time.” She continues, “To be a harbinger
for their honesty in these songs and to watch them work together to see the
tension was one of the greatest gifts of my career because those are two very
powerful people in a very interesting point in their lives.”

It is the metamorphosis of feminine humanity happening right before your eyes.

Named
after the astrological occurrence that takes place approximately every 29 ½
years, the album heralds the arrival of a new era for Laura and Lydia—both
of whom experienced extreme change and transformation during the making of the
record. Grappling with the grief of losing both grandmothers, while also both
becoming first-time mothers, the sisters reflect on their world view,
relationships and own mortality through the album’s ten songs.
Of the
album, the sisters share,
“As we
age, we face obstacles that are beyond our control. Some forces are internal:
insecurity, anxiety, fear. Some are external: the loss of loved ones, an unjust
system and the fragility of time. Yet the mark of maturity is how you respond
when you realize you’re not in control. Where do you find your resilience?
This
album is a reflection of us coming to terms with how to find our power in the
face of an unfair world. These songs lead listeners past ‘where happy man
searches, to a place only mad women know.’ We question our purpose, our
relationships, our faith. Trading the fears of our youth for the dread that
rages within us as mature women.
With Saturn
Return, our hope is that women can feel less alone in their journey through
the modern world. We need each other more than we ever have; the less competition
and the more inclusiveness and understanding, the better. We are southern women
in the 21st century, convicted by our beliefs.”
Originally
from Muscle Shoals, AL, The Secret Sisters have released three acclaimed
full-length albums since debuting in 2010 including their most recent, 2017’s
You Don’t Own Me Anymore, which was produced by Carlile and the Hanseroth twins
and received a nomination for Best Folk Album at the 60th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
