“My Sister is a Butcher”, the recent single from Toronto’s Sister Swire is a frenetic yet thoughtful dive into addiction driven by observations that only someone who’s been there and back can make. Singer Sarah Swire’s expressive and unique voice immediately sets the song apart while the band navigates the constantly moving harmonic landscape with a fullness that makes it hard to believe it’s basically an acoustic guitar-driven four-piece band. All this combined with a visually engaging and unpredictable video from Essery Waller makes for a provocative new take on the long road to rock bottom.
