Big Thief

our love affair with this alt-folk quartet is getting silly now; musically, it’s the most ambitious record they’ve done and lenker’s poignant, quivering vocals are as arresting as ever.

Amidst finger-picked guitar strings and strapping snare tumbles, Lenker’s vocals sashay from Kate Bush at her most understated to the trembling vulnerability of Joanna Newsom. There is a comforting layer of atmosphere to this record. It's quiet and unassuming with wild gesticulations that will catch many by surprise. “There’s a mystical bind to UFOF that grips the listener and never lets go”  9/10 - Uncut
