Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You

Big Thief

this record came out forever ago but i still feel the need to say something about it. this record is a massive departure from their previous work. adrianne and buck have demonstrated incredible folk talent through their solo endeavors, but big thief largely remained outside of that world, until this album. and what a gem it is. it blends the simplicity of folk tunes with the complexity of lyrical themes and instrumentation. 80 minutes and not a single dull moment, which is a ridiculous achievement in a record. i'm still listening to this, all the time.
