What seems like barely five minutes after the release of their breakout album The Lion’s Roar (actually from back in 2012, but clearly lingering in the mind), Swedish sisters Johanna & Klara Söderberg returned this year with Stay Gold. Their fourth album, it continues more or less exactly where The Lion’s Roar left off, with another collection of heart-grabbing harmonies and timeless melodies that make you wonder whether they’ve done some sort of deal with the folk-song devil. Starting out on the Western plains with My Silver Lining, and finishing back home at the piano with the heartfelt reflection of A Long Time Ago, Stay Gold is a masterclass of beauty and emotion. Cedar Lane is one of the albums best cuts, starting out mildly enough before slicing through its flutes and harmonies in a stunning, rousing climax.
