Oracle Sisters announce new album Divinations
Oracle Sisters, is the Parisian project Julia Johansen, Chris Willatt & Lewis Lazar. Today, they have announced the February 14 release of their new LP Divinations via Wizard Artists, the band’s own imprint. Divinations channels mysticism and timeless storytelling as the band draws on diverse influences, from the surrealist poetry of Baudelaire and Rimbaud to the introspective philosophies of Carl Jung. Musically, echoes of Talking Heads, Air, and Leonard Cohen resonate throughout the 11 tracks. Today the band also share new single “Riverside” which exemplifies Oracle Sister’s love of melody and arrangement. The band notes, “”Riverside” is a respite, a song to wrap yourself in and to look back on the year. It’s about turning rust to gold. We hope it inspires you to go on long walks and to get lost in the wilderness.” Along with the announcement, the trio have shared a video for “Riverside,” directed by the band’s Lewis Lazar.
In support of Divinations, the band will embark on their biggest UK & European tour to date, stopping by at London’s KOKO on April 2nd, as well as La Cigale in their current residence of Paris.
Composing as a true trio for the first time, Oracle Sisters pieced together sketches formed during stolen moments on tour. These fragments coalesced into Divinations, an album shaped by the band’s nomadic existence. The recording sessions spanned cozy Parisian studios, a barn in northern France, and the storied Valentine Studios in Los Angeles. Their creative process embraced experimentation—swapping primary instruments, playing with toy drum machines, and crafting melodies on quirky tools like the OP-1 and a baby Casio keyboard.
