Intrigued by the combination of pop and chamber music, Soren Anders and The Staves started performing together in 2008. Indie-music.com called the Staves songs "Simple, yet intellectually challenging. Gloomy, yet beautiful. Artistically sophisticated, yet starkly presented...."
The Staves’ intricate arrangements and smart lyrics echo the lush chamber pop of Belle and Sebastian and The Decemberists. The extraordinary and virtuosic ways in which string instruments are used is an essential component of the Staves' music.
The Music Slut blog had this to say about Soren Anders and The Staves' live performance: "There are very few artists that consistently give me goosebumps. New York's Soren Anders positively fits within this elite category. Over the last year, his stunning vocals and heartbreakingly beautiful melodies have won me over in a major way...."
The Staves' fourth release, an 8-song maxi-EP, is available on iTunes now.

Hey thanks for stopping by and for the friendship. Your music is fantastic. We should do a show someday. But for now, I'm just trying to get this band together. Anyway, best wishes...
Morrissey's gig at the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon tonight has been halted after the former Smiths frontman collapsed on stage.
The Mancunian star opened the set with his classic song 'This Charming Man' and fell to the floor before he could begin his second. He was stretchered off the stage by medical staff.
It is yet to be announced if the concert has been cancelled or if he will return to the stage.
