Big Thief [US]

Adrienne Lenker ist Kopf und Stimme der Debütanten. Ihre Stimme singt in buntesten Bildern von dem Kampf, einen eigenen Platz in der Welt zu finden. Der Freude, endlich Freiheit in Job und Liebe gefunden zu haben und den immer widerkehrenden Echos der Vergangenheit.

“It’s not an autobiography, or even literal stories,” sagt Lenker. “But they’re all true, and true to life. These are songs about people attempting to connect, to both shake themselves awake and shake off the numbness of certain points in their life.”

Der grandiose Titeltrack Masterpiece behandelt die großen Fragen: Loslassen, das Meisterstück einer glücklichen Existenz, Liebe. Ein emotionaler Wirbelsturm, eingebettet in wuchtigem, vollem Sound.

„In the weeks after a loss, even as you convince yourself you’re doing better, the physical weight of grief can take you by surprise and crush all your good intentions. Adrianne Lenker sounds like she’s fighting those dark forces on ‚Masterpiece,‘ where her ragged, reaching voice—somewhere between Sharon Van Etten, Hop Along’s Frances Quinlan, and a drunk country singer—steers Big Thief’s doleful riffs as they slump and sway along the bottom.“ – Pitchfork

„Tough, but not hard…sharp around the edges but soft on the inside“ – NPR’s All Songs Considered
