Big Thief - U.F.O.F. (May 3, 2019) Album • Page 11

The only comparison I would make between this album and Radiohead is that they are both great.

 

Song Exploder episode for “Cattails”

• 
  30 miles west of El Paso, surrounded by 3,000 acres of pecan orchards and only a stone’s throw from the Mexican border, the band Big Thief (a.k.a. Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek, Max Oleartchik, and James Krivchenia) set up their instruments as close together as possible to capture their most important collection of songs yet. The band had only just finished work on their 3rd album, U.F.O.F. – “the celestial twin” – days before in a cabin studio in the woods of Washington State. Now it was time to birth U.F.O.F.’s sister album – “the earth twin” – Two Hands.
  
  In sharp contrast to the wet environment of the U.F.O.F. session, the southwestern Sonic Ranch studio was chosen for its vast desert location. The 105-degree weather boiled away any clinging memories of the green trees and wet air of the last session. Two Hands had to be completely different— an album about the Earth and the bones beneath it. The songs were recorded live with almost no overdubs. All but two songs feature entirely live vocal takes, leaving Adrianne’s voice suspended above the mix in dry air, raw and vulnerable as ever. Where U.F.O.F. layered mysterious sounds and effects for levitation, Two Hands grounds itself on dried-out, cracked desert dirt.
  
  With raw power and intimacy, Two Hands folds itself gracefully into Big Thief’s impressive discography. This body of work grows deeper and more inspiring with each new album. While you listen, let your own two hands rest in front of your body with palms facing inward and see what power grows between them.
  

 

Are they really gonna try and beat themselves for AOTY? Damn.

 

Holy hot damn WHAT

 

I can’t believe this!

 

well damn

 

oh fuck

 

Fucking EXCUSE ME?!

 

I haven’t listened to the 2 new songs so does anyone know if those could fit any of those songs titles?

 

Holy shit. This sounds incredible.

 

BTW I think it’s actually October 11, not in November. That pre-order is an Australian site so the date is listed different than Americans would read it. Plus, Oct 11 is a Friday.
