These are real slow burners. Never heard them or heard of them before this thread. Initially I found them quite wishy-washy but persistence pays off and there a lot of depth and power in their sparse sounds.

Really like when they crank it up or wig out and the U.F.O.F. album is an early pick as my favourite so far. Will continue listening.

Sorry I just had a discogs order for a record I sent to America, it was a blind pilot record ordered for a birthday, thought it might be the same person.

Righto! Weird coincidence!

Anyway, that Big Thief eh? Pretty great band I reckon.

Lovely write-up pal, couldn’t agree more with the sentiments. They’re a very, very special band, and as clear a 5/5 I can think of for any act from the last decade for me.

My story about seeing them in Seattle is pretty much just that I saw them in Seattle tbf.

It was on my honeymoon, with tickets bought about an hour before doors on a total whim, and it was probably the most beautiful gig I’ve ever been too for embellishment. They opened with Adrienne singing Mary unaccompanied with the band slowly joining her, and it was utterly wonderful.
