Sixpence None the Richer

As
an album title, Lost in Transition seems apt. For Sixpence None the
Richer, it’s a reminder of the struggles and uncertainty the band
endured over the past few years, before ultimately finding their way
again.


Lyrically,
Sixpence explores new, sometimes darker areas on Transition.
“Failure,” for example, finds the band awash in “dread and the
underlying fear of something bad happening,” as Slocum suggests.
Meanwhile, the gorgeous melody in “Sooner Than Later” masks the
song’s difficult subject matter: the passing of Nash’s father. “I
credit [my husband] Stephen for helping to get that one started,”
she says. “He really initiated that song. I had holed up a bit
before we did this record. There had been a lot of upheaval in my
life, from my dad’s passing to a divorce. When we started
recording, I just had this overflow of emotion.”


To
coincide with the album’s release, the band will hit Turkey and
Europe this spring, then embark on a tour of the U.S. later in the
year. “We’ve already tested out a lot of these songs live, and
they’ve gone over really well,” says Slocum.

Although
the album started with a lot of uncertainty, Nash is ultimately
thankful for the band’s return. “Matt and I are like brother and
sister,” she says. “I met him in my teens, and we’ve had this
wonderful partnership for more than half my life. I really treasure
the time we put into this band and making records and working
together. It’s a special bond that I hope continues.”
