For All My Sisters

For All My Sisters is the sixth studio album by English band The Cribs. It was released in Germany on 20 March 2015, in the UK on 23 March and in North America on 24 March. The Cribs announced the album title and track-listing on 19 January 2015, along with the teaser track "An Ivory Hand". The album was recorded in New York with producer Ric Ocasek - the last album he produced before his death in 2019. This is the first Cribs album to not be released by their longtime label Wichita Recordings, as the group signed a deal with Sony RED UK to release recordings under their own label, Sonic Blew.

Critical response

edit

The album was broadly well received by critics upon release. Writing for the NME, Mark Beaumont called it "delirious, damaged indie-punk greatness." He applauded the band's "real sense of striving to make ‘For All My Sisters’ a one-album greatest hits," and gave it four stars out of five.[13] The Guardian praised the band's "gleefully ramshackle sound towards poppier parameters." They also awarded the record four stars.[14] The Line of Best Fit were perhaps most effusive of For All My Sisters calling it "the year’s most glorious pop album." They were fulsome in their praise of The Cribs calling them "the outstanding British band of the past decade or so." They awarded the album an 8.5/10.[15] Pitchfork were perhaps the only major music publication to be less than enthused by the album. They awarded it a score of 6.7 declaring it a "scruffy, buzzy and very hooky guitar album that doesn’t quite scan as "punk" or "indie.""[16]
