English trio the Staves' Justin Vernon-produced sophomore record will be out next year, and the band has shared a short documentary that gives a behind-the-scenes look at the recording process. The video was filmed on location at Vernon's Eau Claire-based April Base Studios, where the album was recorded. "I became familiar with the Staves from an EP that was given to me by a friend, and a band that I play in live asked them to support us on a tour. When I heard the Staves singing, it's literally like physiological ... their sisterhood, their relation, and the combination of their voices is unlike anything I've ever heard," Vernon said during the video. "Because I care about them so much, I wanted to invite them here, which seems like such a safe space for them to sprawl out their ideas and give them the runway and the tools and watch them grow into making a record." Watch the video and look at the tracklist below.
