Big Thief - Capacity (Vinyl)

The trails that Brooklyn's Big Thief - Adrianne Lenker (guitar, vocals), Buck Meek (guitar), Max Oleartchik (bass), and James Krivchenia (drums) - take us down on 2017's Capacity, the band's highly critically acclaimed sophomore album, are overgrown with the wilderness of pumping souls. The album is thick with raw, un-doctored 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 self- acceptance, to embrace 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."
