Sister (LP)

Ultraísta are vocalist/producer Laura Bettinson (FEMME/lau.ra), multi-instrumentalist/producer Nigel Godrich (Radiohead) and drummer/producer Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M., Atoms for Peace).

Sister is the band's second album, following their 2012 self-titled debut LP - heralded as "a striking debut"[NME] of "exquisite depth"[Q magazine], while The Independent praised its "soaring Krautrock tinged synths" and The Guardian hailed its "stunning production"

Much of the music on Sister grew out of sporadic improv sessions, with Godrich ultimately paring everything down to its bare essentials at his London studio space; the resulting nine songs create a cinematic sci-fi soundscape that's both exhilarating and laserfocused. Behind Bettinson's warm, inviting vocal delivery and anchored by Waronker's sophisticated percussion work, Sister easily stands tall among the impressive and extensive careers of each band member.
