The Secret Sisters (Laura Rogers and Lydia Slagle) will bring their dreamy harmony to a new album entitled “Saturn Reuter.” The album is produced by Brandi Carlile, Phil Hanseroth and Tim Hanseroth (aka The Twins) and will be released on February 28.
From the presser: “Recorded at Carlile’s home studio in Washington state, the album includes ten songs written by Laura and Lydia Rogers and features the real-life sisters singing individually for the first time instead of relying solely on their trademark harmonies—something Carlile challenged them to do. Carlile comments, “It’s really uniquely unified and harmonious when they’re in tandem and very tumultuous and deep when they’re not in tandem and I think for a brief, beautiful moment on this album we caught The Secret Sisters not in tandem for the first time.†She continues, “To be a harbinger for their honesty in these songs and to watch them work together to see the tension was one of the greatest gifts of my career because those are two very powerful people in a very interesting point in their lives.â€
“Named after the astrological occurrence that takes place approximately every 29 ½ years, the album heralds the arrival of a new era for Laura and Lydia—both of whom experienced extreme change and transformation during the making of the record. Grappling with the grief of losing both grandmothers, while also both becoming first-time mothers, the sisters reflect on their world view, relationships and own mortality through the album’s ten songs.”
‘Saturn Return.’ is a follow-up to 2017’s ‘You Don’t Own Me Anymore’
