Sister John are four multi-instrumentalists from Glasgow, formed around the songwriting of Amanda McKeown.
Released in September 2017, their debut album ‘Returned From Sea‘ was described as “The sound the Velvet Underground would make if Lou Reed wrote for Vashti Bunyan instead of Nico” and “One of the minor triumphs of 2017, a gorgeous, sparse record” – The Skinny
‘Returned From Sea‘ received support from BBC Radio Scotland’s Roddy Hart and Janice Forsyth, Pete Paphides on Soho Radio, and Guy Garvey on BBC Radio 6 Music.
Their much anticipated eponymous second album was released in January 2019. Pushing forward their ‘lo-fi lush’ sound, ‘Sister John’ added strut and swagger to the folk-infused soundscapes and layered harmonies of ‘Returned From Sea’. Described as “The Beatles jamming with John Cale”, ‘Sister John’ received widespread play across BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio 6 Music.
Their third long player "I Am By Day" released in 2021 pushed further into experimental textures and lyrical introspection.
Sister John returns with their fourth studio album, Don’t Worry, It’s Forever release on May 30, 2025 on vinyl, CD and download.
Don’t Worry, It’s Forever is an in-time description of love amidst loss, how it feels to straddle generations and contemplate the remains of identity as time moves on.
The arrangements are raw, the melodies direct, the lyrics personal, rooted in connection and memory, and in loss and what to do about it.
