Big Thief post Shark Smile from new album

Big Thief live in Bristol (Jessica Bartolini for Live4ever)




With Big Thief‘s next album Capacity set to swiftly succeed last year’s Masterpiece on June 2nd, the band have shared new song Shark Smile.

Some of Big Thief’s future UK touring commitments include an appearance at Green Man and a period supporting Conor Oberst – we caught them live at the Soup Kitchen in Manchester a little earlier this year, finding an outfit ready to ‘share an experience with like-minded, passionate people‘:

“Adrianne Lenker‘s impassioned and aching vocals are haunting. Filling this small, smelly basement with a sense of utter heartbreak and foreboding. The audience and the band hang on her every movement, following her every gesture and nuance. She sings songs with sincerity; there’s no irony or melodrama. Just brutal, gut-wrenching honesty, or nothing at all.”

“In fact, they seem less like songs, more like painful moments captured and now unbottled. Songs like Real Love make you wonderfully uncomfortable. The tension in them is palpable and deliciously tingly.”
