From the album Record (2018)
“Sister” by Tracey Thorn appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2018. It was first released in 2018 on the album Record. Its best result is #81 on the WFUV Top 90 Songs of 2018. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #458 indie & aaa song of 2018.
"Sister" sits on Record, the fifth solo album Tracey Thorn put out through Merge on March 2, 2018, and on paper it's all hers: she wrote both the music and the words. Record came together with producer Ewan Pearson at the desk and a hired crew that brought in Shura and Corinne Bailey Rae on vocals, Stella Mozgawa on drums, Jenny Lee Lindberg on bass and Jono Ma on guitar.
Thorn pitched the album as a set of feminist bangers, Rob Sheffield's Rolling Stone review heard synth-pop full of sisterly passion and wry wisdom, and Pitchfork's Laura Snapes counted it among the defining records of a career then 38 years long. A song that simply calls itself "Sister" fits that frame without any strain.
