Sister John have been about for a few years now so it is perhaps no surprise that there is much in the way of maturity to be found in the words and music that make up the fifteen songs of Don’t Worry, It’s Forever.
It would be easy, therefore, to regard this album as being a serious one. One that successfully combines melody and melancholy as part of this band’s musical recipe for emotional catharsis. One that injects elements of both fragility and heartfelt sentiment into a framework that many might regard as an indication that the inside has become the new outside even if Sister John – Amanda McKeown, Jonathan Lilley, Sophie Pragnell, and Heather Phillip – do so whilst sounding like they have just walked out of the mists of the past.
