Big Thief – Change: New Song Of The Day
Big Thief bring us some much-needed Change with this new song from what will potentially be a new double album.
That’s right, Big Thief fans, the band has made noises indicating that their next album could be a whopper. In the mean time, enjoy Change. Here’s the blurb:
Today, Big Thief unveil ‘Change’, another gorgeous track in their catalogue, and announce a spring North American tour.
With ‘Change’, American indie-folk rock icons Big Thief deliver another emotional gutpunch – the evocative, intimate recording placing you right in the studio with the GRAMMY-nominated band. Dreamy, eerie harmonies find warmth in the simple romance of Adrianne Lenker’s lyrics; their innocent hope looking to find a simple moment of peace in chaotic times. Stereogum – “a magic trick only these four can conjure”.
Following three stunning singles – ‘Little Things’, ‘Sparrow’, and ‘Certainty’, ‘Change’ is intimate and evocative, and places the listener right alongside the band.
PRAISE FOR ‘LITTLE THINGS’ / ‘SPARROW’
“There’s a warm, feral energy to ‘Little Things’… the rest of her band creates a textured, woolly atmosphere that swaddles [Lenker] like a blanket. By the middle of their rootsy jam session, she’s feeling both frustrated and free enough to let loose a cathartic primal scream.” – The New York Times
“The best band in the world right now? This is superb even by their high standards, a swinging, restless, high-tempo groove surging with perpetual motion.” – The Guardian, #1 Film&Music Playlist
“a testament to the way love can knock us out of orbit, then spin us back toward each other.” – NPR
“[‘Little Things’ is] an intoxicating portrait of infatuation.” – Pitchfork, Best New Track
“You could imagine ‘Little Things’ crash landing at so many turns. Instead, it glides, it shimmers. It remains in sight for just a few moments, mirage-like, a magic trick only these four can conjure.” – Stereogum
“[‘Little Things’ is] a testament to this Grammy-nominated Brooklyn quartet’s musical chemistry that the song – a whirlpool of joyful 12-string acoustic strumming, snake-like electric leads and Krivchenia’s ever-changing but powerful rhythms – not only holds together, but absolutely flies.” – Guitar World
