Big Thief - Red Moon (Official Video)

[@brodyarmbar]

Listening to this in my prison cell with the volume low so I don't get caught by the CO. God bless

[@davidquate420]

[@kenmau5]

You're my hero

[@Dukeybookey]

Co caught him and took him out back…he told me

[@frankieandtheflowers]

Bless you pal, bet you feel free listening to this, no one can cage your mind

[@GimmieCookie]

Reminds me of fishing out at sea for days… I would have zero music but would carry a song with me for the trip in my heart and would sing to myself over the loud machinery hauling back. Even if they take away your tunes - keep a song in your heart. Much love!

If these fools came up in the 70’s, they’d be a household name today. Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame, all that.

[@jamesdraper4489]

I am from the older generation. I often hear people my age say that new music is not as good as decades ago. I tell them you forgot how to listen to music. Listen to music such as this. It is wonderful!

[@carolinegraceashurst4041]

YES! I'm 44 and agree :)

Yup. Yup yup yup.

Agreed, there is great music in every era, you just have to look and find what you like

This song and Simulation Swarm officially made me a Big Thief band. Can't get either song out of my head. THAT'S MY GRANDMA!

[@jackduffy-smith1126]

Agreed! simulation swarm is a stone cold instant classic.

Whenever I’m feeling down, or overwhelmed I’ll put this song on repeat. It lifts that worry and weight. Thank you.

A few years ago I remember reading a comment on the internet from someone who had gone on a cruise and met Adrianne's grandma. I have searched for that comment everywhere but I can't find it anymore unfortunately. But now, oh glorious day! I can finally put a face to that grandma that I saw in my mind every time I thought of that comment! Bless you Big Thief!

[@tullyjoneswilkins3378]

Bedroom rising from an old growth tree, Bring out the sawmill, Cutting the twelve inch beams, Building a pattern a reservoir to fill with dreams, Rings like saturn, telling their old stories - just a perfect verse god damn

[@cardamomgirl1118]

The best grandma shoutout in music history

*Heard this song on the local radio station the other day on a quick errand. Had to Shazam it at a red light because it was so beautiful and catchy!🙏🏼*

[@alexramsey6406]

As remarkable as the studio version is....was fortunate to watch Big Thief perform 'Red Moon" live and WOW y'all it's LEGENDARY!!!

[@boydecide]

I find myself crying quite often to their music. And I really don’t mind. They indeed lift the spirit and force it to be seen.

[@tylerbschulz4797]

Big Thief, thank you eternally for your truly wonderful music, it means the world to me and so many other people. Adrianne and Buck - I was playing with Rudy (Rudy's Music) at his shop semi-recently when I played a lick from "Indiana", at which point his face lit up - he told me all about how you guys used to go to his shop in soho and has been a fan of yours ever since. We geeked out together about your records for a good 50 minutes after that!!

[@ParhelionMedia]

I love that Mat Davidson (on fiddle here) of Twain plays on this record. He’s a brilliant musician and fits right in with Big Thief.

[@TheMartinFrobisher]

Mick Fleetwood over here with that buttery smooth shuffle Fiddle man doing some fiddling/keys Buck making Buck faces and making it look easy (it is not) Hippie Ying Yang bass player guy, he is pretty good Adrianne, the voice of an angel, too pure for this world My favorite song on this record, for sure.

[@somevelvettmourning]

Bahaha this comment is gold 😂 hippie ying yang bass player guy made me cackle. I swear Big Thief comment sections are the best.

[@RetroGameStream]

I love a drummer that looks like they're stoked and having a good time.

[@allisonsmith1977]

As if I needed another reason to love this band!! I would never imagined that this would rival live at Levon Helm Studios. Everything about this song makes me happy and goes with my hula hoop flow! 🥰

[@davidpowell8110]

What a creative force this band is. Enjoyed finding their stuff after hearing Cattails on BBC Radio 6.

[@elizabethmorgan293]

They always act like making musical magic is no biggie, lol. ❤️ them!

[@neonfear]

The violin is gorgeous on this. Beautiful album. I love the way the sound constantly changes but still feels comforting and recognisable - it's cause the heart and spirit is always there. So funnnn and inspiring!

[@stevewirtes3848]

I get SOOOOO MANNNYYYY responses from colleagues saying "why would anyone care about rehearsal like performances being filmed"? THIS is why! I've ALWAYS been drawn to authentic performance, is that not what being drawn to an artist in the first place isn't about??? The future is vids like this, I love it, always will! LOVE the new album, and LOVE Big Thief, Ya'll make my life better in unique ways :)

[@MemphianSounds]

@@julianbleh they're solid - and I like the records - but there isn't any aspect from the compositions to the playing to the recording that's exemplary. They're a pretty solid indie-folk/alt-country outfit

James is so goddam right: youè never too old to discover (great) new music! Big Thief serve as the perfect example; it`s rather a question of attitude and open-mindedness. This band is just great and their latest album gives you so many "good vibrations"!

I just discovered this band..quite by accident, by checking out their ad video here on KZbin....Normally, I do not listen to the music ad vids for more than a few seconds..I turn it off, fast.... if it doesn't really get my attention, if it doesn't turn me on , and, well, I gotta say, this one DOES TURN ME ON.........VERY COOL SOUND......As a musician , singer , song writer myself, for over the last 40 yrs, I can say, that these folks have something very special, and I hope they get really famous....There are so many influences I hear in this.....Right off, I think of Fleetwood Mac..( especially the drummer here..wow)..I also think of Neil Young.....I think of Grateful Dead...and more...I mean , this stuff REALLY turns me on, and is very inspiring to me....YOU GO FAR...."BIG THIEF".......You certainly stole MY attention.....Keep on doing more of your beautiful music...I am shariing this on my FB page.. THANKS ....

[@col2281]

Adrianne your lyric writing is inspiring. Love the new record. It's sprawling like the White Album or Stephen Stills' Manassas IMO. Blurred view has such a different feel than the other tracks. It's otherworldly. It'll take a few listens to adjust to that one. Thank you

[@rohansaraf1737]

(Imma be the lyrics guy for this gem of a song) Red moon rising like a fire in me So many questions, she asks them all to me I have to answer most curiously Scarlet angel, I am too small to see Earn earn, shuffle round the big city Burning the rubber down, crossing the hot concrete I'm gonna leave town, there is someone to meet She turns her head around a full 360 Woo Bedroom rising from an old growth tree Bringing out the sawmill, cutting the 12 inch beams Building a pattern, the reservoir to fill with dreams Rings like Saturn telling their old story Windmills turn and turn eternally What do you yearn for, where do you long to be? I've been here before, looking at the wild country Open the screen door, talking with Diane Lee That's my grandma! Radio singing from the corner of the kitchen I got the oven on, I got the onions wishing They hadn't made me cry, filling the sink with dishes Letting them air dry, waiting for the wind's permission Too many movies got me shivering and shy Turning the lights out, glistening in the owl's eye Glimmer like lightning under the violet sky Shimmer like diamonds, watching the red moon rise Ooh!

[@mercerino]

Just heard this for the first time on the radio. I thought it was Donna the Buffalo, when I heard that it wasn't I had to track down who it was. Big Thief, you're awesome!

Didn't know this band before today: what a beautiful band! I'm quickly gonna get addicted :)

[@solestestarr4745]

seeing you all perform in houston this fall is the closest to holy i’ve ever felt. the way your instruments and vocals dance and resound is unparalleled. adrianne, your words are magic-i’m currently at university doing a semester long project on your poetry. I listened on vinyl on wednesday because I just couldn’t wait!!! my question is-in the deepest bits of your bones, what color do you all feel like right now?? secondly, which is each of your favorite songs on the album? (mine personally are promise is a pendulum or blue lightning, of the new ones, and simulation swarm of the previously released) all of these words really just sum to: I have love for each of you all through your work. I wish you ease, grace, and peace.

[@Isadriendir]

I heard this song on the radio and immediately feel for it. Absolute gem. 🖤

[@alexarchibald2477]

Saw this band in Dallas a few months ago. Saw Adrianne walking her dog outside smiling before the show but was too nervous to say hi. Went with one of my bestfriends and we just had such a great experience the whole time. Left the venue and got in traffic due to a highway shut down so we jumped a grassy median to get home. My favorite concert of all time from my favorite band. Will never forget it, love it!

[@joegoldsmith3172]

Hey! My question is for Adrienne :) I adore this album so so much, I can already tell it is going to be very important to me. A lot of the lyrics on the album feel like these beautiful montages of scenes and memories and imaginings of otherworldly things. I was wondering how you go about connecting these varying ideas into a central feeling or story? Or just like, writing advice in general lol You guys are my favourite band and Adrienne as a lyricist especially has had a huge influence on my writing :)

[@anthonywallace3830]

Would love to hear some of your music if you have some out!

[@loganmo4204]

question for James: little things is one of my fav songs on the record because of how many different sounds are happening within the song while still managing to capture the essence of each instrument in the mix, what was the process like for mixing that song?

[@scottlippittmusic]

Agreed! That's a great question. I love the texture of that song. Its an impressive mix.

[@BigThief]

heya it's james. the mix was fairly simple. shawn mostly dialed in the sound for the main take that you hear on the record while he was tracking it. we recorded with the delay because adrianne was singing to that in the headphones. we edited some of bucks guitar part processed a few moments so they are bigger and added a atambourine and then adrianne sanga bunch of adlibs which i then comped and edited. but the sound was pretty much there, shawn crushed. there were some little tweaks but mostly it was all there. shawn is really good at mixing.
