For Big Thief, fragility and power come inextricably intertwined. Singer and guitarist Adrianne Lenker may let her songs sit and seethe for long stretches, but those slow builds only maximize the catharsis of the big, loud, high-volume bursts of force that follow.
Onstage at Stubb's BBQ in Austin, Texas - recorded live Wednesday as part of NPR Music's SXSW showcase - Lenker brought a mix of new material and songs from last year's terrific Masterpiece. Throughout the set, Big Thief's sound billowed out in grand waves, matching the large stage and open-air setting, and by the end of "Masterpiece" (the band's signature song so far), Lenker was on her back, lost in the intensity of the moment. It felt like just the beginning for a band with a big, bright future.
Set List
"Orange"
"Real Love"

I’m only ten minutes in but a.) this is such good music and b.) I’m so pumped bc just last night I wanted to draw specifically a girl rocking out on a guitar in overalls (been thinking about marceline from adventure time recently) but I couldn’t find any pics of dynamic poses that weren’t a weird amalgamation of a stock photo and a pin up girl. This is perfect though, can’t wait to practice dynamic poses using screenshots (and I can’t believe she’s literally wearing what I wanted the drawing to wear)

Adrianne's guitar is too quiet in this mix relative to Buck's but otherwise this recording sounds good to me. I'm playing it loudly right now on a decent hifi (big floor standing dual concentric Tannoys). This is the best quality recording of their new stuff like Orange and Shark Smile that I have heard online. Glad to have this to listen to until the new album comes out. Just saw them live on Saturday too.
