As mentioned recently here, The Staves have been recording with Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) at the production helm.  At long last we now have a taste of the musical magic arising from their collaboration.  Check out below the fantastic new track Blood I Bled.  The song begins cabin-slow and then takes off via layers of hectoring horns before planing to a sultry finish on shimmering strings.  Like a seaplane.  We hear in the track shades of the fantastic Feist and Joni Mitchell (no higher praise-by-comparisons in our book).  Superb!  Will be difficult now to stave off (apologies) our anticipation for the impending EP of the same name and their long-promised, Vernon-produced second album.  Bring ’em on!
