Tucker Zimmerman

A collaboration with labelmate, Big Thief (who produced and performed on the album), this is Tucker Zimmerman's first album for 4AD.

“It was an extreme honor to make a record with one of the greatest songwriters of all time,” explains Big Thief. “We believe in this music with all of our hearts, and we hope it brings you joy.” The song tells the story of a resurfaced message in a bottle from a sea captain of yore, and closely parallel’s Zimmerman’s musical experience; words written long ago have the power to resonate for years to come, transcending time and place.

Over a career that spans half a century, Zimmerman’s discography is a sonic memoir. A sprawling collection of records that have explored folk, 12-bar blues, full-band rock concertos and classical piano compositions, his work is also a tribute to the people, experiences and sounds that have shaped his life, amassing in a deeply personal and resonating songbook.
