Album Notes & Community Reviews
On their debut 'Masterpiece', Big Thief establishes a dynamic sound that shifts nimbly between lo-fi acoustic folk, noisy grunge-pop, and dusty Americana. The album is defined by Andrew Sarlo's versatile production and Adrianne Lenker's commanding songcraft, which presents emotionally direct lyrics on love and abuse through arrangements that are at once dissonant, tuneful, and rhythmically varied.
