i’ve been thinking of, talking about, and listening to this charming little folk duo ever since i stumbled upon them late night at manhattan inn one sunday. front-woman adrianne lenker has a hauntingly sincere voice that is completely captivating as it floats among lyrics that feel melancholic, familiar, and hopeful. with buck meek’s dark and steady bass accompaniment, big thief becomes a transcendent emotional experience that hasn’t left me for weeks.
see them perform tomorrow night, 7/15, at union pool. or sunday 7/26 at baby’s all right.
in the mean time, get lost here.
