Big Thief: Live At SXSW 2017 - FULL CONCERT | NPR Music
Музыка
For Big Thief, fragility and power come inextricably intertwined. Singer and guitarist Adrianne Lenker may let her songs sit and seethe for long stretches, but those slow builds only maximize the catharsis of the big, loud, high-volume bursts of force that follow.
Onstage at Stubb's BBQ in Austin, Texas - recorded live Wednesday as part of NPR Music's SXSW showcase - Lenker brought a mix of new material and songs from last year's terrific Masterpiece. Throughout the set, Big Thief's sound billowed out in grand waves, matching the large stage and open-air setting, and by the end of "Masterpiece" (the band's signature song so far), Lenker was on her back, lost in the intensity of the moment. It felt like just the beginning for a band with a big, bright future.

Are we "lazy" or are we not supported under current systems? I think if stress related to finances & staying afloat were removed, people would have freed mental space to explore their passions rather than worrying about whether it's profitable
Every time I come back to Big Thief it's a fantastic experience
Watched these guys perform in Sydney, Australia a couple of weeks. Needless to say, it was easily the best gig I have been to. Such an honest and pure voice.

what a setlist. nearly flawless.
Why does this work? By God, it does though. Buck's guitar solos make me laugh with joy as he tries to harness the weirdness. Their harmonies are divine. Adrienne's lyrics, vocals, pain leave me in a heap both sobbing and ever so blasted joyful.
such a good set
Have tickets to see them in Glasgow May 2019 - hope that they play as well as they did in this performance.

loooove this band - so special --- why is it mixed like this?? driving me MAD -- anyways thank uuu BT TYTYTYBT TLFEXOXOX
parallels live is the best thing that has ever happened
CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THEM AT RED ROCKS JULY 2023!!!!
my heartbeat feels like the countdown clock till they come back to San Diego -- wait a second, it IS the countdown clock till they're here again.
I’m only ten minutes in but a.) this is such good music and b.) I’m so pumped bc just last night I wanted to draw specifically a girl rocking out on a guitar in overalls (been thinking about marceline from adventure time recently) but I couldn’t find any pics of dynamic poses that weren’t a weird amalgamation of a stock photo and a pin up girl. This is perfect though, can’t wait to practice dynamic poses using screenshots (and I can’t believe she’s literally wearing what I wanted the drawing to wear)
Parallels ❤️
very good.
love this band though
Great! I love you very much and I will see you on Stage.
Looking froward to seeing them live in Winnipeg in July at the Winnipeg Folk Fest.
Marissa Nadler/ Sonic Youth I'm sold.
she looks super cute with short hair, and holy fuck they are talented, they sound perfect on the stage.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! ❤

Adrianne's guitar is too quiet in this mix relative to Buck's but otherwise this recording sounds good to me. I'm playing it loudly right now on a decent hifi (big floor standing dual concentric Tannoys). This is the best quality recording of their new stuff like Orange and Shark Smile that I have heard online. Glad to have this to listen to until the new album comes out. Just saw them live on Saturday too.

This is awful and super boring. Lots of out of tune singing.
The way Buck Meek shakes his head annoys me so much.
Only listened to them seconds but, came here to criticize and my only complaint seems to be that this sounds rehearsed. Like it though
Its crazy how much worse she looks with short hair
