Nerds - why does she play the second chord like this? And is she using two capos at once? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYiGbszym6\_/?igsh=eWtzNm9xcGJuMGU5

hope you guys enjoy it :)

I’m sure a post like this already exists on this sub, but was curious what songs you think are vastly underrated?

Personally, I can’t believe Black Diamonds isn’t talked about more. Easily one of my favorites and most re-visited tracks.

This is just a small post meant to go out into the void and then disappear.

I listen to a lot of Big Thief, between band and solo releases, my top album and top few songs for the past several years have been from her body of work.

When Double infinity was slowly released, I was really excited and listened to them quite a bit. I love the album name, the album cover, but the music was't sinking its hooks in, even after a dozen or so listens.

So I put the album down, and just kind of avoided it, sticking to her previous body of work.

Some time has passed since I did that. I was in spotify today and came across a general Big Thief playlist and decided to put it on. It was a little unusual because I generally listen to albums start to finish, or occasionally a single song that I am in the mood for.

I'm so glad I did this. A few songs into the playlist Incomprehensible came on and something just clicked. I immediately played it twice in a row, then put the full Double Infinity alblum on and was completely swept away. The complexity of the instruments, her teetering voice. How could I not hear these in previous listens??

I don't know why this one took a while to grow on me, but I am so glad it has.

So I'm genuinely interested in peoples opinions on meanings of songs but other stuff is greatly appreciated!! :))

I’m going to see big thief for the first time in august and I’m super excited but I have no idea what to wear. My normal wardrobe is baggy basic stuff but I wanna step out of my comfort zone for the concert. It’s in Chicago from 6-8pm so it should still be around 70ish? Degrees Since it’s in the middle of august. Also The venue is outdoors so I really wanna make sure the outfit is perfect so factors like sudden temp change/ wind don’t ruin anything. I also mainly wanna get an idea of what other people have worn to BT concerts as from what I’ve seen there usually more of an earthy vibe to peoples outfits that I’d like to try!

Sorry for the lazy effort post, but anyways: their new song 'Trade tomorrow' is my favorite for now.

Just wanted to pass it along!

Heard Adrienne's voice as they were wrapping up the show and it made me feel a lot of feelings! Really well timed placement wise. Absolutely perfect choice.

Hey guys, i’m planning to fly to Brussels to see big thief live and i’ve been trying to purchase tickets on ticketmaster but they wouldn’t verify my account because apparently they don’t operate worldwide. Do you know of any other sites where i could purchase a ticket?
