Capacity Cassette by Big Thief In Stock at Vinyl Records London. We have got the ghetto blaster on and popping in a cassette by Big Thief on 2 sides A and B.. You know where you are at with a tape, grab a new copy on old school tape. Bring your own pencil.Big Thief s sophomore album beautifully excavates family history and trauma into a delicate, intricately built folk rock record, showcasing the gorgeous style of singer Adrianne Lenker. Pitchfork, Best New Music The trails that Brooklyns Big Thief Adrianne Lenker guitar, vocals, Buck Meek guitar, Max Oleartchik bass, and James Krivchenia drums take us down on 2017s Capacity, the bands highly critically acclaimed sophomore album, are overgrown with the wilderness of pumping souls. After 2016s stunning Masterpiece, Capacity was recorded in a snowy winter nest in upstate New York at Outlier Studio with producer Andrew Sarlo. The album jumps right into lives marked up and nipped in surprisingly swift fashion.They are peopled and unpeopled, spooked and soothed, regenerating back into a state where they can once again be vulnerable. Lenkers songs introduce us to a gallery of multifaceted women and deal with the complicated matters of identity at once dangerousand curious, though never unbelievable. Lenker shows us the gentle side of being ripped open. Tricked into love, done in and then witnessing the second act of pulling oneself back together to prepare for it to all happen again, but this time to a sturdier soul, one whois going to take the punches better than ever before and deal some jabs and roundhouses of their own. The album is thick with raw, undoctored beauty most of the songs on Capacity were played for the rest time in the studio and were recorded the same day. There is a darker darkness and a lighter light on this album, Lenker explains. The songs search for a deeper level of selfacceptance, toembrace the world within and without. I think Masterpiece began that process, as a reaction from inside the pain, whereas I feel Capacity examines the pain from the outside.
