Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Brooklyn-based quartet's sophomore effort plunges deeply into Adrianne Lenker's startlingly intimate, biographical songwriting. The record relies on delicate acoustic guitars and warm, organic indie-rock arrangements to frame narratives regarding family trauma, near-death experiences, and profound empathy. It established Big Thief as one of the most critically revered and emotionally arresting bands of their generation.
