Big Thief

Masterpiece - Limited Edition Eco Black Viny

£29.99

Released: 8th December 2023. Big Thief will release a new edition of their 2016 debut album Masterpiece, the album contains much-loved songs ‘Paul’, ‘Real Love’ and title track ‘Masterpiece’. It is remastered and reissued on reVinyl pressing from 8 December 2023. 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." *Eco Mix vinyl production uses leftover wax that's already in the factory to cut down on waste, resulting in a more environmentally friendly process. As a result, each record is different and the colour is completely random
