Big Thief’s singer/guitarist/songwriter returns with an album of songs and an album of instrumentals. songs and instrumentals are two distinct collections, both written and recorded in April after Big Thief’s March tour was abruptly cut short due to coronavirus. After returning to the states from Europe, Lenker decamped to a one room cabin in the mountains of western Massachusetts. “I grew really connected to the space itself,” says Lenker. “The one room cabin felt like the inside of an acoustic guitar -- it was such a joy to hear the notes reverberate in the space.” With a hankering to capture the feel of the space, Lenker enlisted the help of engineer Philip Weinrobe, and the recording process was 100% analog-analog-analog (AAA). No digital process was used in the production of this sound recording. Released 10/23/20 on 4AD, available here as a double LP and as a 2 CD set.
