Tom Misch does not chase drama on ‘Sisters With Me’. He pulls the song inward instead.
Where much of his catalogue leans on groove and musicianship first, this track places family at the centre and lets the arrangement sit back while the words carry weight. It feels closer, less guarded, like an artist choosing presence over polish.
‘Sisters With Me’ centres on sibling bonds rather than romance or self-mythology. Misch treats his sisters as the place he returns to when everything else shifts, returning to images of shared roots and steady support when life feels uncertain.
Lines about being “the youngest of three” and finding calm when “the water runs deep” shift the focus away from individual struggle towards collective strength, turning family into the song’s quiet source of resilience.
Released on 28 January 2026 and written with Matt Maltese and Eg White, the track moves on a warm indie-pop pulse that never pushes for attention.
The guitar tone stays soft, the rhythm section steady, and the vocal sits close to the listener.
Misch sings plainly, almost conversationally, allowing repetition to carry the emotion rather than dramatic vocal runs. That simplicity feels intentional.
Instead of presenting himself as the detached musician, he sounds rooted in personal history. Juliet Klottrup’s video extends that mood visually.
Shot across the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District, it follows real sisters and friends through quiet portrait shots of sisters walking, waiting, and leaning into the landscape rather than performing to camera.
The countryside feels lived in rather than cinematic, reinforcing the sense of long-standing bonds and shared memory.
Nothing here tries to overwhelm. ‘Sisters With Me’ narrows its focus until only connection remains, suggesting that growth for Misch is not about sounding bigger or louder, but about letting family sit at the centre of the story, no studio trickery to hide behind.
