Big Thief

Buck Meek’s The Mirror is the work of a true American outsider, one who understands that creativity is always a collaboration and a lineage. Whether channelling dusty Texan country or something stranger and more introverted, Meek — aided by Big Thief bandmate James Krivchenia’s light-touch production — stretches these songs into unusual shapes without ever losing sight of their warm, beating hearts.

Buck Meek’s new album, The Mirror, arrives February 27, led by the frenetic single “Gasoline.” Directed by Noel Paul, the video highlights a collaborative spirit featuring James Krivchenia’s production. The record boasts an impressive cast, including Adrianne Lenker, Mary Lattimore, and Alex Somers, blending live energy with modular synths recorded at Meek’s Los Angeles log cabin, Ringo Bingo.

Big Thief’s Double Infinity was always going to be different. While it’s leaner than their last, its sonic range is wider. It is an album dedicated to corporeal impermanence, and to its flipside: love and its constant presence. It goes without saying that it’s big on ideas. It’s also big on melodic innovation and collaborative spirit. And most importantly, it’s a record with a gigantic heart.

Dance of Love feels like it could turn out to be Tucker Zimmerman’s Basement Tapes. Everything about it is fresh and spontaneous, music made on its own terms but with a spirit of collaborative generosity.   

At every turn, Big Thief exposes their willingness to experiment and create sounds that puts them in a category all their own. Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You is a stunning new collection that goes everywhere with the most impressive results.

Big Thief’s Buck Meek is set to release his new album, Two Saviors next Friday. Today, he shares his new single/video, “Candle,” co-written with Adrianne Lenker.

At Bush Hall, Big Thief play through their upcoming second release for 2019, Two Hands, from top to bottom. This is the first time they have played the new album in this way and many of the songs have never been played in live performances till now.

With fans still reeling from the immersive sounds of ‘U.F.O.F.’, Big Thief announces new album ‘Two Hands’, a follow-up “earth twin” from which they share lead single “Not” ahead of a special intimate show at Bush Hall in London, next Monday (19th).
