Sister

Ultraísta have announced their first new album since 2012's self-titled debut with the release of “Tin King.” The trio will release Sister on March 13, 2020. It’s a collection that defies easy categorization, and one that proves that Ultraísta — GRAMMY-winning producer/engineer/musician Nigel Godrich, best known for his two decades helming Radiohead’s groundbreaking studio output; celebrated drummer Joey Waronker, who’s toured and recorded with everyone from R.E.M. and Beck to Roger Waters and Elliott Smith; and singer Bettinson, an acclaimed solo artist whose work combines synth-driven electropop and dreamy vocal looping — is far more than just the sum of its remarkable parts.

The second album from producer Nigel Godrich, drummer Joey Waronker, and singer Laura Bettinson is immaculately composed electronica that never really leaves a strong impression.

'Sister' shows that Nigel Godrich is much more responsible for Yorke's ultra-smooth and warm electronic sound than was…

The follow-up to the indie electronic trio's 2012 eponymous debut, Sister sees Laura Bettinson, Joey Waronker, and Nigel Godrich delivering another evocative set of glacial soundscapes and cosmopolitan beats that syncopate with the discomfort of the times.

The fact that Ultraísta’s second album Sister sounds like a master class in experimental avant-garde electronica and gleaming production techniques is both the album’s strength and its weakness.

Nigel Godrich, Laura Bettinson and Joey Waronker return with Sister, and although it's wonderfully produced, there's not much to truly love here
