    Back from a shift in a homeless hostel for 16 to 24 year olds. Half midnight. Time to chill. Found Big Thief. Never heard them. No idea they existed. Pressed play with no expectations whatsoever and fell completely in love with your beautiful music. Thank you x

    I love How Buck breaks a string at 23:07. Yet the incident totally fits the song by adding even more aggression, rawness, and grit. He is such an evocative and unorthodox player. This band is amazing - totally unique.

I saw them last summer at end of the road festival (UK) & there are always some amazing bands that play there. This band were (& are) on another plane though. I can't explain adequately just how they affect me, except to say that there is something beyond the mere physical around them & their music.

And although most aren't terrible there is only a handful who really stand out with a touch of class and genius, Big Thief are one of them bands. Desperate to see them live.....

      @halt.halt.halt. 3 роки тому +1

      A little late but both, Adrianne and Buck both play beautifully crafted Collings guitars.
      I assume Buck plays his I-30 fully hollow prototype here. He also owns a standard I-35 though. Those typically look more like the guitar he’s playing here, as the usual I-30s come with a floating bridge instead. However, as his I-30 is a prototype, it might as well be the one you can hear in this performance.
