BIG THIEF
MASTERPIECE

CD /LP / LTD LP

01.Little Arrow / 02. Masterpiece / 03. Vegas / 04. Real Love / 05. Interstate / 06. Lorraine / 07. Paul / 08. Humans / 09. Velvet Ring / 10. Animals / 11. Randy / 12. Parallels

The 2016 debut album containing much-loved songs ‘Paul’, ‘Real Love’ and title track ‘Masterpiece’ is remastered and reissued.

Masterpiece, Big Thief’s debut album, is filled with characters and visceral narratives, songs that pivot in the space of a few words. Adrianne’s voice and guitar playing speak of rich emotional territory with grace and insight.

Masterpiece was recorded in July 2015 at an old house that they turned into a studio on Lake Champlain with producer Andrew Sarlo and engineer James Krivchenia (who would go on to become a full-time Big Thief member). The resultant debut Big Thief studio album is filled with characters and visceral narratives, songs that pivot in the space of a few words. Adrianne Lenker’s voice and guitar playing speak of rich emotional territory with grace and insight. In her words, the record tracks, “the masterpiece of existence, which is always folding into itself, people attempting to connect, to both shake themselves awake and to shake off the numbness of certain points in their life. The interpretations might be impressionistic or surrealistic, but they’re grounded in simple things.”  It soars on what Big Thief fan Sharon Van Etten called “…a real journey, with intelligent stories and twist-and-turn melodies.”

Please note that recycled vinyl will be on an entirely random colour and the mock-up does not reflect the final product

FABIANA PALLADINO & JAI PAUL
I CARE 7″

7″

A. I Care

Fabiana Palladino and Jai Paul come together to release “I Care”.

The single, which the pair co-wrote and produced – is the first track to be released from Palladino’s highly-anticipated debut album and the first piece of new music from either musician in over three years.

On “I Care” and working with regular collaborator Jai Paul, Fabiana Palladino says “I wrote this song on my Juno 106 one night at home and played it to Jai the next day. He instantly came up with a bea and we worked together on the track from there. I’ve always loved those Motown duets with Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, or Diana Ross and wanted to create a modern version of that. We’re playing with the way those duets have this quite clear notion of romance, love and relationships…we’re subverting that a little to explore normativity in relationships. Musically, we’ve tried to put all of the beauty, excitement, and tension of modern day love into this song.”
