Viscerally personal and unflinchingly intimate, Big Thief have crafted, neck and neck with Carrie and Lowell, the best folk album of this decade. Beautiful and haunting, Capacity is an album about strength that contains overwhelming power.

As often, Big Thief charm me when staying away from slow'n'sad tunes whose interest mostly revolves around Lenker's lyricism. When they add a lil touch of dynamism, like on "Shark Smile" or "Mythological Beauty", they clearly are one of the most charming modern bands.

Heartwrenching record. This album essentially summarizes in what I love about Big Thief. The emotion, the raw performance, the weird drum patterns, it's all there. Among these songs are also some underrated gems, like "Watering", whose vocals personally hit me harder then any other, and "Great White Shark", which features a solo with an amazing energy. In my opinion, this is easily their best record.

Wouldn't quite proclaim it as the masterpiece that Masterpiece wasn't, but superb leap in a year I can certainly vouch for. Some'll fret over the comparative deficiency of distortion or polish applied to a garage-y mien, but they are infinitely more invested here, and it shows: sturdier, darker, prettier, more intimate. Guitar howlin' is craftily reserved for speeding towards guardrails and hospitals, and the splendor of their strip-back sneaks up on you slowly; quietly sightly and sad and playful with no shortage of niceties or meaningful melodies. Devotees press that there's much to be had of Adrianne Lenker's lyrics, perhaps cuz they can get obscured in murmurations -- more often tho I'm taken by her inflections through-n-through. The entirety of "Mary" however highlights both. Other standout stuff: head thrusting against temple, blood, werewolves, sharks.
