The final song was the biggest surprise it's an unreleased song Big Thief has been performing, appropriately called "Happiness. Maybe it's James Krivchenia's banjo percussion, the galloping rhythm on "Certainty" or how the four musicians sing aloud on a chorus it is so much fun to see it all unfold. There's a bit of a "hold on to your hat" feel here, with players watching each other for a possible surprise. Max Oleartchik plays upright bass for this intimate acoustic set on the top floor of a house in "windy Connecticut." Drummer James Krivchenia produced Big Thief's recent album and also a 2020 ambient album of his own, A New Found Relaxation. I can say the same for Adrianne Lenker's many solo albums and for Buck Meek's 2021 solo album, Two Saviors. The first three songs in this set all come from that album and were written by singer Adrianne Lenker, with "Certainty" co-written with guitarist Buck Meek.īig Thief songs are often filled with tender tales and poetic and playful words.
This band has made many of my best-loved albums in the past few years, beginning with its 2016 debut Masterpiece and including its 2022 double-album Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You. What we see in this Tiny Desk (home) concert is playfulness substituting for the intensity that I normally find in Big Thief on a big stage. Plus, hear LIVE performances of songs from their new album, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You.I love seeing friends playing comfortably at home, especially when those friends are members of my favorite band. In this session, you'll hear them talk about how their support for each other, as a band, has been a vital element of their creative process. That feeling of home, of safety, of being surrounded by people who give you space to be your truest self - you can hear it in the warmth and creativity of Big Thief's music, and you can hear it and SEE it when you speak to them.ĭuring my conversation with Big Thief frontperson Adrianne Lenker and drummer James Krivchenia (who also produced the new album), they often answered questions while looking at each other, encouraging each other to explore an idea or tell a story. maybe you're inside the new Big Thief album.
there's a fireplace glowing, it's cozy, it's warm, you're greeted with a hug from your partner or your family or your closest friends - you're HOME. Picture this: You're walking alone on a cold and blustery night the wind is whipping your hair back, your cheeks are frozen, and when you finally get to your destination, you open the door, and inside. The bands songs exude muscular warmth, with lyrics that are both memorable and meaningful. Find Big Thief tickets on New Zealand Videos, biography, tour dates, performance times.
