i love big thief for no other reason than every time i watch a video adrianne has completely different hair

[@appliedmechanical8790]

Gotta be the most asinine reason to like a band. I’m sure the band is gleeful about the hair color of A.
L. never mind the cleaver musical arrangements, thoughtful song writing, and powerful vocals. Fkn hair color ugh.

[@brrehbock1]

Adrianne Lenker is one of the best songwriters of our time but you get the sense that her emotions transcend the spoken word and that's why her guitar solos are so amazing.

[@zerofcksgiven8564]

One of the greatest songs of all time.

[@ashd3402]

god damn. her impromptu solo at 3:12 is so fucking moving. this performance has me in tears. how much blood is worth the draw... sheeesh man. so grateful to have come across these guys.

[@Askalott]

"How much blood is worth the draw" gets me every time! Such a great lyric!

[@abstractmindquad]

damn that solo from 3:12 is awesomely awkward! Love it!

[@spirulauren1128]

ugh, love how they play.

[@adrianasolari492]

never loved a band so much. Her songwriting is so powerful. I thank the universe eternally for Big Thief

[@jackshaver1568]

This is everything I love about music all at once

[@garyives1218]

indeed

[@adrianasolari492]

couldn’t have said it better.

[@zasddsaf]

might very well be the song of the year

[@fmxman1564]

Her voice and guitar together is like harmony to my ears

[@ieorj4080]

Blows my mind everytime

[@garyives1218]

indeed

[@justin62390]

god i love buck

[@garyives1218]

I was ecstatic I was able to see him and his awesome band play in a small venue lil over year ago. Love both albums. Soooo good. I must see Big Thief soon!

[@elusory3735]

Reminds me of Sonic Youth at the ending there, which to me is always a good thing. Love this song.

[@MattieCooper10000]

My new favorite band forever.

[@50ShadesOfEndo]

They've definitely improved since then

[@TBBMusicBlog]

Bloody fantastic.

[@barfqueen2177]

adrianne is so beautiful

[@irenicum]

Intense is beyond description.

[@Bagfuld]

[@kp7885]

[@chrismarty406]

Hou Bon Dieu REAAALLLL LOOOOVE !

[@irenicum]

I wanna blast this song out so that it makes my neighbor's ears bleed.

[@enriqueguerrero8670]

[@likeametaphor1]

I love you

[@simao669]

lw buena hermano laik👍

[@dannyt1029]

This song is killerrrrrrrrrrrr

[@jzzzzm]

♥️😭

[@aurelianomontero]

I NEED TO KNOW THE CHORDS... PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!! :(

[@vvinhal]

Her voice strongly reminds me of Feist. Btw what a lovely song!

[@starwhisperer11]

Also very reminiscent of Elizabeth Powell's voice from the band Land of Talk (another Saddle Creek artist). I believe Land of Talk are now defunct, but still worth checking out if you like Big Thief.

[@josuesouzajr]

The first time I heard them was live and it reminded of Jeff Buckley. Her voice is awesome and she sings with so much soul...

[@andreaneilcmc]

There seemed to be a bit of a power struggle going on between buck and adrianne through the 3 songs of this session. Still brill!

[@mins332]

I never knew that chick from The Breakfast Club fronted a rock band!

[@singspeaklovechilou]

minsiii :3 hahaha, well played!!

[@bryanmmusic]

"That chick from breakfast club"..... 🙄

[@soulmate_tyan]

[@khonsuthecore4788]

MBV probably loves this band.

[@7bean3]

Micheal Brandon Van Halen? I don't think that's a real person

[@catie7249]

@@7bean3mbv stands for “my bloody valentine”, a band :)

[@eleanor1490]

so obsessed with 2:12

[@amcsibozgor6791]

How does Buck handle this?

[@cricketbriggs6865]

She mad

[@saladalfie4785]

At 3:13 start sweet delirium

[@MrJetttttttttttt]

This is a jeff buckley tune or its just me?

[@marthajudithcuevas4617]

Traviesos de la sierra 0

[@alvaroresmini6719]

Acho que precisam de outro guitarrista 😢

[@evcon]

what's up with the drummer here? he's sloppily playing very different parts in this performance. hard to listen to if you know the song at all

[@stevenhylinski]

The drummer in this video, James Krivchenia, is a different drummer from the one who recorded the album Masterpiece w/ Big Thief (that would be Jason Burger). I actually prefer the way James plays. His playing is looser but I find it more satisfying to listen to.

[@edvinmattsson3041]

the lead guitarist, does he have some sort of tourettes or is he just into the music?

[@jusmaku]

Edvin Mattsson lol he always does it, and i always wonder why

[@bobburroughs6241]

I'd soon get fed up with that guitarist cavorting around.

[@cricketbriggs6865]

lol

[@enriqueguerrero8670]

Give him a pass, he's just really happy. I'd be as well if I was him up there with them all. A way better job.

[@Angrymon16]

I dont know if you've ever tried playing guitar and moving around like that, but it's really difficult, man. He's just into it.

[@jacolynparker7796]

you should lighten up because most passionate musicians move like that

[@Will_Moffett]

Yeah but many musicians who make good music aren't exactly sane.

[@followthesun22js]

she is amazing! other guitarist is really annoying

[@Pthaloblue2]

Jon Schoen shut up

[@DEMONTOR6]

that dudes dancing ruins the whole video
