Masterpiece by Big Thief
Listening to the debut release by Big Thief is a lot like growing up and watching an old home movie; nothing is quite as pretty as it once seemed, but it’s still yours and that’s what makes you feel warm. This intimate look at moments from songwriter Adrianne Lenker’s life straddles the blurry lines of too close for comfort without quite overstepping its boundaries. It’s nostalgic without the overdose of sentimentality that often comes with reminiscing, which could be a refreshing step away from the cookie cutter cliches that rear their head during the holiday season.
