'''''For All My Sisters''''' is the sixth studio album by English band The Cribs. It was released in Germany on 20 March 2015, in the UK on 23 March and in North America on 24 March. The Cribs announced the album title and track-listing on 19 January 2015, along with the teaser track "An Ivory Hand". The album was recorded in New York with producer Ric Ocasek - the last album he produced before his death in 2019. This is the first Cribs album to not be released by their longtime label Wichita Recordings, as the group signed a deal with Sony RED UK to release recordings under their own label, Sonic Blew.
The first single released from the album was "Burning For No One", on 23 March 2015.
The album entered the UK midweek album chart at number 7<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/james-bay-on-course-for-number-1-with-debut-album-chaos-and-the-calm__8762/|title = James Bay on course for Number 1 with debut album Chaos and the Calm|website = Official Charts}}</ref> eventually charting at number 9 when the UK Albums Chart was announced on Sunday 29 March 2015.<ref name="diymag.com">{{Cite web|url=http://diymag.com/2015/03/29/the-cribs-laura-marling-and-courtney-barnett-score-big-in-the-charts|title = The Cribs, Laura Marling and Courtney Barnett score big in the charts| date=29 March 2015 }}</ref> ''For All My Sisters'' is The Cribs' third top 10 album in a row.
==Critical response== The album was broadly well received by critics upon release. Writing for the NME, Mark Beaumont called it "delirious, damaged indie-punk greatness." He applauded the band's "real sense of striving to make ‘For All My Sisters’ a one-album greatest hits," and gave it four stars out of five.<ref name="NME 2015-03-05">{{cite news |last=Beaumont |first=Mark |url=https://www.nme.com/reviews/reviews-the-cribs-15964-317864 |title=The Cribs – ‘For All My Sisters’ |work=NME |publisher=NME |date=2015-03-05 |accessdate=2024-08-17 }}</ref> The Guardian praised the band's "gleefully ramshackle sound towards poppier parameters."

They were fulsome in their praise of ''The Cribs'' calling them "the outstanding British band of the past decade or so."
