It was recorded between July and August 1995, at Estudio La Nave in Madrid. The record company, lacking resources, did little promotion for the album, which led to a complete failure to sell only 500 copies of an edition of 800, when his goal was to edit and sell 4,000. This was a big disappointment, but at least it allowed them to add performances (Festimad from 1996 to 1998, and Festival Internacional de Benicàssim in 1996).
Even with the disappointment of sales, they recorded their first video Come with me. Officially the album had no single but this song was the most demanded for at concerts by fans. The music video was recorded in a garage, with reduced budget, under the direction of Juan Bullón.

Reissue
The album was reissued by Chrysalis on March 26, 2001. Besides having a new album cover and a neat internal booklet with funny pictures from his last tours, it contained a song that, in its day, could not enter the album because of publishing problems. It was "Noche Tras Noche", the only song that the band has recorded in Spanish. It is a cover version of the Spanish group Solera, that Dover used to play in his first concerts back in 1994.
One single, "Angelus", was released from this reissued album, which contained three songs: "Angelus" itself, "The Morning After", and the aforementioned "Noche Tras Noche".
Appearances
The songs "Angelus" and "The Morning After" made appearance in the 2001 Spanish film "No te fallaré".
Critical reception
Sister did not draw too much attention, and did not receive favorable reviews (nor unfavorable). BDF from LaFonoteca describes it as a "debut in which the group is kind of laid down". BDF listed "Anacrusa", "Come with me", "Grey" and "She will" as great songs on this debut, and also points that, however, the tracks generally seem unfinished, with some of them that does not even reach a minute long.
