Big Thief live in Bristol (Jessica Bartolini for Live4ever)
Big Thief have followed up last year’s second album Capacity with an EP entitled Wide Winged Bird.
200 physical copies will be available to purchase at the band’s upcoming shows backing The National, all proceeds go to New York’s viBe Theater. We last caught them live in Manchester, finding a band 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.”
