4AD reissue of this classic album. The trails that Brooklyns Big Thief – Adrianne Lenker (guitar, vocals), Buck Meek (guitar), Max Oleartchik (bass), and James Krivchenia (drums) – take us down on 2017s Capacity, the bands highly critically acclaimed sophomore album, are overgrown with the wilderness of pumping souls. After 2016s stunning Masterpiece, Capacity was recorded in a snowy winter nest in upstate New York at Outlier Studio with producer Andrew Sarlo. The album jumps right into lives marked up and nipped in surprisingly swift fashion. They are peopled and unpeopled, spooked and soothed, regenerating back into a state where they can once again be vulnerable. Lenkers songs introduce us to a gallery of multifaceted women and deal with the complicated matters of identity at once dangerous and curious, though never unbelievable.
