BIG THIEF

Capacity

[Saddle Creek]

It’s impossible not to fall hard for Big Thief.

These Brooklyn indie rockers have crafted a worthy successor to their debut which they called Masterpiece.

Capacity assumes the mantle as their masterpiece to date with Adrianne Lenker’s honeysuckle vocals coating dark subject matters.

Shark Smile is quite possibly the best track you’ll hear – squally guitar chords and crashing drums give way to a vision of American outposts with Bud Light signs and corner Jukeboxes. Tremendous.
