Just listened to Hours Were The Birds for the first time earlier and wow it’s really stunning! Had absolutely no idea about any of Adrianne’s pre-Big Thief work.

It’s lovely, isn’t it? Reminds me a bit of Innocence Mission.

Had my first listen to the album yesterday, it’s an absolute stunner. Quite Joni Mitchell innit

Can’t wait to listen to this - what a year they’re on! They played so much new stuff last time I heard them, they’re clearly sitting on plenty of stuff.

It’s absolutely gorgeous, the perfect balance between my favourite parts of their sound and her solo material. Do hope there’s a few more straight rockers like we got on Masterpiece, but not a big deal if not. They played about 4 new ones when I saw them live last year and they were all pretty knotty and dense and, without exception, amazing.

Hope the song here called ‘Not’ appears at some point as a studio recording, loved it live.

Fantastic, one of the best bands going.

Disappointed the album cover isn’t an old photo of Lenker’s family though.

Had my first listen today, then immediately put it on again. It’s stunning of course. There’s a couple full band abysskiss tracks, and the penultimate song ‘Jenny’ is incredible. It’s really brooding and meditative even for them.

Today I fell in love with a band called Big Thief

Just stunning aren’t they? This is easily gonna contend for one of my ATOY’s. It’s not as cohesive as Capacity but it is probably their biggest mood yet. Think this cements them as one of the best bands of the decade, or at least the second half

Been going through Adrianne and Bucks albums they are did together, then with abysskiss you realise Adrianne is just purely an amazing songwriter through and through. Can’t wait for this new album!

Hoping for a few plugged-in bangers ala Masterpiece or Shark Smile but I doubt i’ll be too disappointed if not.

gonna spoiler tag for those who don’t want to know:

Nah, there isn’t really, this album’s a different vibe. If anything, it is U.F.O.F. but there’s lots of beautiful delicacies. Think of it like abysskiss but full band
