Arriving a year-and-a-half after their seventh album, 2015's , reflects on the group's quarter-decade of successes, struggles, strife, and togetherness as sisters and , along with co-bandleader , collaborate and harmonize in the easy manner that has earned them such a large following over the years. Captured to tape by engineer , this set benefits from the spontaneity of having been recorded almost entirely in 's kitchen near Moruya, New South Wales. Having spent much of the past decade scattered around the globe -- both live in the U.S. with remaining in Australia -- the band saw this anniversary record as a chance to reconnect in familiar, laid-back surroundings and simply sing, strum, and write in a room together. A number of bright highlights came out of these sessions, like the hooky, -esque "Not the Lonely" and the strident "Don't You Ever Feel," both of which display the sisters' natural chemistry. 's title track is a warm, uplifting indie folk paean to the trio's durability, which features all three singers trading vocals back and forth. As a celebration of ' key ingredients, hits it mark. ~ Timothy Monger
