Rooted in the songs of Adrianne Lenker, Big Thiefrsquos music paints, in vivid tones, ldquothe process of harnessing pain, loss, and love, while simultaneously letting go, looking into your own eyes through someone elsersquos, and being okay with the inevitability of death,rdquo says Adrianne.lsquoMasterpiecersquo, Big Thiefrsquos nowremastered debut album, is filled with characters and visceral narratives, songs that pivot in the space of a few words. Adriannersquos voice and guitar playing speak of rich emotional territory with grace and insight. In her words, the record tracks ldquothe masterpiece of existence, which is always folding into itself, people attempting to connect, to both shake themselves awake and to shake off the numbness of certain points in their life. The interpretations might be impressionistic or surrealistic, but theyre grounded in simple things.rdquoAdrianne met her longtime musical partner, guitarist and singer Buck Meek, in Brooklyn, and they quickly formed a creative bond, tempered by the experience of travelling and performing for months on end in old dive bars, yards, barns, and basements together. They recorded a pair of duo albums lsquoA Sidesrsquo and lsquoBSidesrsquo, and Adrianne showcased her songs on a solo album, lsquoHours Were The Birdsrsquo.Now, as a full rock and roll band, with Buck on guitar, Max Oleartchik on bass, and James Krivchenia on drums, they bring a steady wildness, giving the songs an even deeper layer of nostalgia. ldquoThese guys feel like a pack of wolves at my back,rdquo says Adrianne, ldquothey make the songs howl and bark with a fierce tenderness that gives me courage.rdquoAfter spending a July in an old house that they turned into a studio on Lake Champlain with producer Andrew Sarlo, the resulting collection soars on what Big Thief fan Sharon Van Etten calls ldquoa real journey, with intelligent stories and twistand turn melodies.rdquo Available to independent retailers on eco vinyl. First time available on eco vinyl.
