It will kick off in Swansea in September and finish in Bristol in October. The trio’s last release was “The Way Is Read”, an collaborative EP from 2017. “The Good Woman” is their fourth album after a six years break.  Even though it was recorded during a time of loss and grief following the death of their mother, the album is far from mournful. They said in an interview: “When it came to naming the album, it seemed like this strongest statement of intent. Especially retrospectively having lost our mother and gained a niece. There’s a lot of female energy in our family.” The Staves previewed The Album with the singles “Trying“, “Satisfied” and the title track back in 2020 and showed that they in keeping with their established sound, but also presents very intimate and energetic statement.  

The Album was released last month with the help of producer John Congleton and received great reviews. In an interview with NME Milly said: “We’d gone into hibernation for about a year after we lost our mum, and didn’t really know who we were or what we were doing anymore. He was the right person at the right time to swoop in like a little whirlwind or energy”. Then Jess added: “He gave us a lot of reassurance, too. We’d been self-producing everything up to that point, but we needed someone to come in and bring new energy. He’d warned us, saying he works really quickly, but that was exactly what we needed”.

This is the second time that Sea Girls have revised their upcoming tour dates. 

Originally, the tour was scheduled for November of this year. In abidance with the UK government’s health guidelines surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, Sea Girls rescheduled the dates to February 2021 back in September. Unfortunately, the dates have been pushed back further, to October 2021.

In an official statement, Sea Girls confirmed the sad news. The band confirmed that “We have made the difficult decision to reschedule our UK and EU February tour dates to Autumn 2021.”

Now, Sea Girls UK tour will officially begin on October 7th, 2021. Sea Girls will kick off at the O2 Academy in Leicester. The indie quintet will then travel across the UK, playing shows in both Newcastle, Glasgow and Liverpool.

The tour will come to a head in Manchester, where Sea Girls will deliver a blinding, already sold out show at the Academy in Manchester. Unsurprisingly, their upcoming shows in Birmingham, Glasgow and London have flown off the virtual shelves like hotcakes, and are already sold out.

Fortunately, tickets purchased by fans for the February 2021 dates will remain valid for the revised tour dates. Sea Girls confirmed that: “Tickets purchased for these shows remain valid, please hold on to them! UK support comes from the awesome Baby Queen.”

Sea Girls took to Instagram to reveal their revised tour dates with their ever-growing fanbase. Within the post, Sea Girls wrote playfully: “Buy some print at home tickets for our UK 2021 tour to stick under the Christmas tree and make everyone’s dreams come true! Link in bio.”

The latest single from Sea Girls is This Is The End, which the Transplant singers premiered on Friday, December 4th. A romantic sounding track, This Is The End is a beautifully melancholic song from the indie darlings about the pains of letting a loved one go.
