Liverpool's emerging trio Sisters are back with fiery new single "Weird Angel," a song that strikes out of the traps, teeth bared and heart bruised. Fronted by vocalist and songwriter Georgiana Genet, the half-British, half-American band has become purveyors of what they like to describe as dreamy, poetic, weepy rock. On their new album, they alchemize betrayal into something that's both relieving and addictive.
"Weird Angel" is a pissed-off verbal jab at a friend who overstepped. Genet's voice rumbles with a sneaking, creeping hint of both venom and openness, catching you to fall for this conflicting duality. Readers who have experienced the sting of betrayal will feel more than just understood but joined. This is not just a breakup song about friendship, this is a howl for anyone who's felt left behind in the dark.
Sisters incorporate their influences, the edge of Wolf Alice, the grit of PJ Harvey, and the melodic bittersweetness of The Cardigans, and turn them into something truly their own. Hooks bite immediately and won't let go, while moments of experimentation keep the song restless and alive. That balance between catchy and caustic, introspective and unrestrained is what characterizes the band's expanding reputation.
What cuts through most about "Weird Angel" is its refusal to skew a ballad, even one about empowerment, with anything but pure rage. It's blunt, and yet beautiful in its openness. Sisters don't simply sing about betrayal, they make it reverberate in your chest. On this release, they establish themselves not only as a band of atmosphere and poetry but also one that's unafraid to scorch the earth when its stories call for it.
