Big Thief finally did a recorded version of one of their best songs and it's better than I could have hoped. And they're releasing another album this year, holy hell.

Has anyone seen Big Thief live? They're playing at the end of the month sort of near me and I'm wondering if it's worth the trip.

I say go. Adrianne Lenker live is captivating.

e: ^^my best attempt to act like I'm not obsessed with them. New album is great.

went to Big Thief last night and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen in my thirty-odd years of life. They are in total command of their craft and just brought the house down. Adrianne Lenker is one of the poets of our times.

thank you for your attention

Good to know, I've heard their live shows described as 'workmanlike'

it was an unprecedented level of intensity from them. "Not" has clearly been primed for a great jam live and my expectations were blown away even then. the whole show was just full of passion

Love this new Big Thief. I’ve heard it at their show before and the version they performed of this a few months back was so joyous

New Big Thief album is another absolute stone-cold classic. They are my favorite band forever

If you haven’t scoped it yet, Sharon van Etten’s new album is outrageously good.

Big Thief was already my favorite band before they became stewards of the soul of John Prine but they just keep hitting me deeper. This performance of Dried Roses is magical (timestamped):

She was also on Tears which for me is like the greatest pop song ever.

meanwhile, im over here watching coachella livestreams realizing that willow smith's hot topic turn might actually be extremely my poo poo

I had this revelation sometime last year. She sounds like a very polished version of all the bands I listened to when I was 11.

Jungle was an incredible live show. Recommended

I’ve seen them three times and they’ve all been exceptional. The last one was the rowdiest, happiest crowd I’ve ever been in

Hope it’s better than the last couple. The post Janet era’s been a bit rough for them

Man, hard agree it's been rough. But that video and song are good. Miranda July is one of a kind

did you listen to the live album from this year? I haven't gotten around to it yet but it's basically their third album, entirely new stuff since the frontman left. i watched a couple sets on festival streams and really liked it though i'm not sure it'd work as well in an album format

I had not watched this before and I found it utterly exquisite. Thanks for the post

Went to see Black Country, New Road last night and it was the best show I’ve seen in years. They’re trying so much at once with different leads and a veritable clown car of instruments; it’s so messy and beautiful and aaargh I love it
