At the heart of Oracle Sisters’ music is a dedication to the unknown. As the band explains, songwriting is their version of divination—sculpting form out of feeling, often through instinct rather than formal training. Tracks like “Riverside” question the value of material pursuits with lines like “How far are you going? Is it more than money can buy?” while “Moon on the Water” evokes the fragmented, contextless swirl of modern culture: “Silver-backed gorilla / Karma Sutra city / Persephone blues / who’s your Robin Hood?”.
This globe-trotting ethos also informs their live shows, which evolve to incorporate new ideas and a growing lineup of collaborators. Oracle Sisters’ creative process is collaborative and experimental, embracing spontaneity. The trio frequently draws on surrealist techniques, dreamscapes, and even hallucinatory meditations. This open-ended approach allows them to transcend temporal or geographic constraints, resonating with listeners across eras and cultures.
With echoes of artists like Big Thief, Fontaines D.C., and Beach House, Oracle Sisters belong to a lineage of musicians who break molds and push boundaries. Through Divinations, they invite listeners to embrace the mystical and make sense of the seemingly random—like gazing into tea leaves and finding meaning in the patterns. For Oracle Sisters, music isn’t just a craft; it’s a shared experience, a bridge across cultures, and a leap of faith into the unknown.
