For the first time on 4AD, the album containing much-loved songs ‘Paul’, ‘Real Love’ and title track ‘Masterpiece’, will be remastered and reissued on reVinyl pressing from 8 December. Masterpiece was recorded in July 2015 at an old house that they turned into a studio on Lake Champlain with producer Andrew Sarlo and engineer James Krivchenia (who would go on to become a full-time Big Thief member). The resultant debut Big Thief studio album is filled with characters and visceral narratives, songs that pivot in the space of a few words. Adrianne Lenker’s voice and guitar playing speak of rich emotional territory with grace and insight. In her words, the record tracks, “the masterpiece of existence, which is always folding into itself, people attempting to connect, to both shake themselves awake and to shake off the numbness of certain points in their life. The interpretations might be impressionistic or surrealistic, but they’re grounded in simple things.” It soars on what Big Thief fan Sharon Van Etten called “…a real journey, with intelligent stories and twist-and-turn melodies.” Big Thief’s music, rooted in the songs of Adrianne Lenker, paints in vivid tones “the process of harnessing pain, loss, and love, while simultaneously letting go, looking into your own eyes through someone else’s, and being okay with the inevitability of death,” says Adrianne. Masterpiece, Big Thief’s debut album, is filled with characters and visceral narratives, songs that pivot in the space of a few words. Adrianne’s voice and guitar playing speak of rich emotional territory with grace and insight. In her words, the record tracks “the masterpiece of existence, which is always folding into itself, people attempting to connect, to both shake themselves awake and to shake off the numbness of certain points in their life. The interpretations might be impressionistic or surrealistic, but they’re grounded in simple things.” Adrianne met her longtime musical partner, guitarist and singer, Buck Meek, in Brooklyn a few years ago, and they quickly formed a creative bond tempered by the experience of traveling and performing for months on end in old dive bars, yards, barns, and basements together. They recorded a pair of duo albums (A-Sides and B-Sides), and Adrianne showcased her songs on a solo album, Hours Were The Birds. Now, as a full rock and roll band, with Buck on guitar, Max Oleartchik on bass, and James Krivchenia on drums, they bring a steady wildness, giving the songs an even deeper layer of nostalgia. “These guys feel like a pack of wolves at my back,” says Adrianne, “they make the songs howl and bark with a fierce tenderness that gives me courage.” After spending last July in an old house that they turned into a studio on Lake Champlain with producer Andrew Sarlo, the resulting collection soars on what Big Thief fan Sharon Van Etten calls “…a real journey, with intelligent stories and twist-and-turn melodies.” Artist Big Thief Genre Rock And Pop Label 4AD Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Little Arrow Masterpiece Vegas Real Love Interstate Lorraine Paul Humans Velvet Ring Animals Randy Parallels Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Big Thief View Product Quick View Big Thief Vampire Empire/Born For Loving You Rock And Pop | 4AD | 7", Coloured Vinyl Released 20th October 2023 £9.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Big Thief Vampire Empire/Born For Loving You £9.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD SKU: 4AD0656S Formats: 7", Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 20th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Big Thief Myhological Beauty Rock And Pop | Saddle Creek | 7", Coloured Vinyl Released 28th January 2022 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Big Thief Myhological Beauty £10.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Saddle Creek SKU: LBJ254C Formats: 7", Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Big Thief Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You Rock And Pop | 4AD | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th February 2022 £23.00 - £26.00 Select options Big Thief Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You £23.00 - £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th February 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Big Thief Myhological Beauty Rock And Pop | Saddle Creek | 7", Includes Download Code, Single Released 9th April 2021 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Big Thief Myhological Beauty £10.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Saddle Creek SKU: LBJ254 Formats: 7", Includes Download Code, Single Released Date: 9th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Big Thief Two Hands Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | 4AD | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 11th October 2019 £16.00 - £18.00 Select options Big Thief Two Hands £16.00 - £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: 4AD Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 11th October 2019 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Big Thief U.F.O.F.
