October 2, 2019 for Immediate Release BIG THIEF SHARE NEW October 2, 2019 For Immediate Release BIG THIEF SHARE NEW SONG "FORGOTTEN EYES" TWO HANDS OUT OCTOBER 11TH VIA 4AD NORTH AMERICAN TOUR BEGINS NEXT WEEK WITH THREE SOLD OUT NY SHOWS Today, Big Thief shares "Forgotten Eyes," the second single and final pre-release taste of their forthcoming album, Two Hands (out 10/11 on 4AD). Next week, the band begins its first full North American tour since fall of 2018, selling out most of the venues (with others well on their way to selling out), including 3 sold-out nights in New York - one at Brooklyn Steel and two at Webster Hall, totaling 4500 tickets. LISTEN TO "FORGOTTEN EYES" ****LINK**** Two Hands is the band's second album this year, following the May release of U.F.O.F., a universally-beloved album which garnered a 9.2 score from Pitchfork, who called it "a true masterpiece of folk music from a band working together at the highest level." While some have looked on in wonderment at this prolific band's decision to release two substantial releases in the same year, the decision was, as with every decision the band makes, eminently intentional and deeply considered. Two Hands is a partner to U.F.O.F. In Stereogum's recent cover story on the band, Adrianne Lenker beautifully describes how the two albums connect and how they differ: "U.F.O.F. is meant to be more focused on the immeasurable, sort of suspended ethereal playing with textures and colors and layering in the production, staring out into the abyss. And Two Hands is more the micro, zooming into the blood and tissue and guts of being a human, the raw, bare, naked bones, not much layering, capturing just our performances in the room, just very dry, no reverbs, just skin and flesh and human, finite, physical. But I think each of them contains parts of the others.” A visceral and emotionally raw song, "Forgotten Eyes" is a lyrical wonder and song of immense compassion, a reminder to care for those around us that others have forgotten. "FORGOTTEN EYES" LYRICS Forgotten eyes are the ones which we lose Forgotten hands are the ones which we choose To let go of, but it is no less a bruise On the collective arm keeping us high and gone Forgotten dance is the one left at birth Forgotten plants in the fossils of earth And they’ve long passed but they are no less the dirt Of the common soil keeping us dry and warm The wound has no direction Everybody needs a home and deserves protection Hollow-eyed on Eddie street no sirens to hear Just trash and soiled needles clawing the veneer And no crying but it is no less a tear On the common cheek with which we smile Hollow-eyed on Eddie, is it they or is it I Is it me who is more hollow as I’m quickly passing by? And the poison is killing them, but then so am I As I turn away The wound has no direction Everybody needs a home and deserves protection Forgotten tongue is the language of love Forgotten tongue is the language of love Forgotten tongue is the language of love Forgotten tongue PRE-ORDER TWO HANDS - bigthief.ffm.to/twohands.opr For their upcoming North American and European shows, Big Thief will be partnering with Plus1. $1 from every ticket sold in the US will be going to benefit Little Kids Rock and Youth Speaks, while shows in Canada will benefit DANS LA RUE, Sketch, and UNYA. $1 from every ticket sold for the 2020 European dates will be going to benefit Hangarmusik, while the 2020 UK shows will benefit Girls Rock London (GRL!).

  • August 13, 2019 Big Thief Announce New Album, Two Hands, Due
    August 13, 2019 For Immediate Release BIG THIEF ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM, TWO HANDS, DUE ​ ​ OCTOBER 11TH VIA 4AD, AND PRESENT LEAD SINGLE, “NOT” CATCH THEM ON TOUR THIS FALL Two Hands Cover Artwork ​ Big Thief are pleased to announce their new album, Two Hands, due October 11th via ​ ​ ​ ​ 4AD, and present its lead single, “Not.” 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. 30 miles west of El Paso, surrounded by 3,000 acres of pecan orchards and ​ only a stone’s throw from the Mexican border, 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. Where U.F.O.F. layered mysterious sounds and effects for levitation, Two Hands grounds itself ​ ​ ​ on dried-out, cracked desert dirt. 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 previous 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.

  • Concerts Lineup Released for Fall,Students Speak: What Did You
    Concerts lineup released for fall By Kelly Page [email protected] Students have been ecstatic about the concerts schedule for this semester. Although some of the more high-profile acts (like Girlpool and Kero Kero Bonito) were leaked via Spotify prior to the official lineup release on Friday, Sept. 7, finally seeing a complete concerts schedule did not fail to be one of the most exciting moments of the new semester. This year’s concerts coordinator, Cassidy Christiansen ’20, worked hard behind the scenes all summer long to provide the College with some of the best up-and-coming artists of modern times, despite cuts to the student activities budget this year. “Even though I’ve been in concerts for two years, I didn’t really know what [the booking process] would look like,” Christiansen said. The manager of Girlpool and Porches had worked with Grinnell in the past, making it easier to bring these high-profile bands to the school. Additionally, Kero Kero Bonito showed an interest in the College which was very much reciprocated by a campus obsessed with their music. “You get a lot of artists reaching out to you to play shows, so the lineup this year is a mix of people who reached out to me and people who I reached out to based on responses to a Google Form that I sent out,” Christiansen said. Christiansen reached out to accomplished musician Haley Henderickx after receiving several requests to bring her to campus (paired with their own personal love of her music), and also found that she wanted to play Gardner, wedged in between two previously-booked shows in Iowa City and Des Moines.

  • Big Thief Indie Folk Rockers on the Rise
    For Immediate Release 18 October 2016 Contact: Jodi Joseph Director of Communications 413.664.4481 x8113 [email protected] Big Thief Indie folk rockers on the rise NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS — Brooklyn’s Big Thief released Masterpiece this May on Conor Oberst’s Saddle Creek label — an impressive debut that churns with singer-guitarist-songwriter Adrianne Lenker’s “evocative scenes of people and places, while the band shifts nimbly between lo-fi acoustic and throwback rock hooks” (Pitchfork). Big Thief graces the stage of MASS MoCA’s Club B10 on Saturday, November 5, at 8pm. Big Thief’s chief singer-songwriter Adrianne Lenker and guitarist-singer Buck Meek began their creative friendship after meeting in Brooklyn, NY, culminating in a pair of collaborative albums titled A-Sides and B-Sides. Lenker and Meek took the show on the road, spending years performing in backyards, barns, and basements, and living the rubber-tramping road life together. On this journey, they gained a couple partners and Big Thief was born. Led by Lenker’s lusty lyrics, Meek’s guitar, and complemented by Max Oleartchik on bass and James Krivchenia on drums, Big Thief builds a montage of memory, life, love, and the heartache of human experience. In Lenker’s words, Big Thief’s debut album Masterpiece tracks "the masterpiece of existence, which is always folding into itself, people attempting to connect, to both shake themselves awake and to shake off the numbness of certain points in their life. The interpretations might be impressionistic or surrealistic, but they're grounded in simple things." Big Thief pounds out songs with a fierce tenderness reminiscent of folk-indie-rock bands Mothers and Whitney.

  • Fall Fest Concerts Preview: Soccer Mommy, SASAMI, the Boy Illinois
    Fall Fest Concerts Preview: Soccer Mommy, SASAMI, The Boy Illinois Graphic by Steven Duong. By Kelly Page [email protected] Rising from the ashes of 10/10, this year’s Fall Fest will feature a night of music for Grinnellians. On Saturday, Oct. 6, students and community members will have a chance to see three buzzed-about musicians play right here on campus. First, at 4:30 p.m., former Cherry Glazerr keyboardist and incredibly cool lady Sasami Ashworth, whose stage name is SASAMI, will play a set of her solo music at the Commencement Stage, followed by Nashville-based musician Soccer Mommy at 5 p.m. If it rains, both acts will perform in the Harris Center instead. Finally, rapper and East Chicago native The boy illinois will perform in Gardner Lounge at 10 p.m. For the past ten years, SASAMI has been pretty much everywhere in the Los Angeles music scene. According to her Soundcloud page, “From playing french horn in orchestras and studios, to playing keys and guitar in local rock bands (Dirt Dress, Cherry Glazerr), to contributing vocals/string/horn arrangements to studio albums (Avi Buffalo, Curtis Harding, Wild Nothing, Hand Habits, etc.) and producing tracks for other respected artists (Soko), she has gained a reputation as an all-around musical badass.” A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, SASAMI has also spent time teaching music and writing orchestral scores for films. Having essentially done everything else she could have possibly done in music, she is now taking time to develop her solo work, planning to release an album in 2019, which Pitchfork says she describes as an exploration of “everyone I fucked and who fucked me last year.” On her recent single “Callous” SASAMI sings “When I look back, I can see myself so clear” over churning guitars.

  • Indie Mixtape 20 Q&A Is with Tomberlin, Who Watches Hocus Pocus Whenever It's on TV
    :: View email as a web page :: Is it controversial to argue that Big Thief thus far has peaked with their second album, 2017’s Capacity? We were in early with this band — the great 2016 debut Masterpiece was almost like an alt-country record, definitely not the sort of thing that tastemakers get excited about. But Capacity was quieter, less direct, more atmospheric — basically the Big Thief sound, fully released. We still feel like that’s the best distillation of what they do. Last year’s UFOF and Two Hands are where the sound of the band starts to merge more with Adrianne Lenker as a solo artist. Just compare those records to Lenker’s two new solo efforts, Songs and Instrumentals. They are basically a solo folkie records, more akin to something like early Elliott Smith or Sun Kil Moon than the indie Americana sound of Big Thief. Does she pull it off? Hear what we think in the new episode of Indiecast. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" and the Beginning of the 21st Century In case you missed it... We've got your back with the perfect soundtrack for watching the leaves turn with a new YouTube playlist featuring tracks from The Cure, Tears For Fears, Alex G, Japanese Breakfast, and many more. The new episode of Indiecast also reviewed the new album from Beabadoobee. Miley Cyrus covered Pearl Jam during her MTV Unplugged episode. We're still drying our tears after listening to the new full-band Julien Baker track, which previews her new album Little Oblivions.

  • February 26, 2019 for Immediate Release BIG THIEF SIGN to 4AD
    February 26, 2019 For Immediate Release BIG THIEF SIGN TO 4AD, ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM, SHARE FIRST SINGLE "UFOF" 2019 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED U.F.O.F. OUT MAY 3RD LISTEN TO "UFOF" ****LINK**** LISTEN TO "UFOF"/PRE-ORDER U.F.O.F. https://bigthief.ffm.to/ufof.opr U.F.O.F., F standing for ‘Friend’, is the name of the highly anticipated third record by Big Thief, set to be released by 4AD on May 3rd. Today, they share the first single, "UFOF," and announce 2019 North American tour dates. Adrianne Lenker (guitar, vocals), Buck Meek (guitar), Max Oleartchik (bass), and James Krivchenia (drums) have spent the last 4 years on an incessant world tour, winning the devotion of an enthusiastic and rapidly expanding audience. Their songs represent an emotional bravery and realness that weaves intimate relationships with the listener, a phenomenon that has made them one of the most widely-respected bands of the current era. Their first two back-to-back releases, Masterpiece (2016) and Capacity (2017), have been analyzed, wept to, danced to, critically applauded, imitated, hummed idly, and shouted out loud. They have soundtracked crowded restaurants, difficult conversations, cowboy bars, yoga classes, night drives, and lonely bedrooms. U.F.O.F. was recorded in rural western Washington at Bear Creek Studios. In a large cabin-like room, the band set up their gear to track live with engineer Dom Monks and producer Andrew Sarlo, who was also behind their previous albums. Having already lived these songs on tour, they were relaxed and ready to experiment.

  • Indie Mixtape 20 Q&A Is with Slow Pulp, Who Really Wish They Had Invested in Bitcoin
    :: View email as a web page :: In 2018, Jeff Tweedy published Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back), one of the funniest and most insightful rock memoirs of recent years. For anyone interested in the Wilco frontman’s creative process and personal outlook, Let’s Go is as essential as any Wilco record. Tweedy must have felt that he was on a hot streak, because he’s back again with a new book, How To Write One Song, that delves even deeper into his artistic approach, only this time with a motivational twist. As the title suggests, How To Write One Song aims to instruct the reader on how to do what Tweedy himself has done successfully for more than 30 years. Unlike many songwriters, who often bat away questions about their work habits by claiming that ideas simply come to them from some unseen higher power, Tweedy is refreshingly practical about the act of writing songs. Check out our interview with Tweedy here. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" and the Beginning of the 21st Century In case you missed it... Our YouTube has an incredible collection of classic music videos from Tori Amos, My Bloody Valentine, Echoe & The Bunnymen, and more. The new episode of Indiecast took listener questions and revealed guilty pleasures. "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac has returned to the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time since its initial 1977 release, thanks to a viral TikTok. Anyway, here's "Wonderwall." The classic and meme-worthy Oasis number has surpassed one billion streams on Spotify, making it the first song from the '90s to achieve such a feat.
