Spires That in the Sunset Rise is an American

Chicago, Illinois where they began to experiment with creating songs.[2]
Drawing from experimental and multi-cultural music, they created an individual sound which they debuted on their first self-titled album Spires That in the Sunset Rise. [2] The first album was created without Taralie's sister Tracy Peterson, but she soon joined the group before the making of their second album '
This Is Fire' which today is considered one of their most accessible albums thus far. Since the release of their first album, they have contributed a different slant to the New Folk movement by incorporating avant garde influences resulting in a unique sound.[3] Their music has drawn comparisons to The Raincoats, Current 93, Comus, and The Ex, and they have toured throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.[3]

In 2012, the band (now a duo of long-term members Ka Baird and Taralie Peterson) released their fifth full-length album, Ancient Patience Wills It Again.[4]
