Big Thief - Capacity Dreith The Sisters of Mercy may

The Sisters of Mercy may have seemed quiet

even on tracks lesser musicians would let devolve into simple swing patterns (like the darkly jazz-tinged “Step By Step”)

It marked his true birth as a solo artist

Big Thief - Capacity Dreith The Sisters of Mercy mayThe trails that Brooklyn's Big Thief Adrianne Lenker (guitar, vocals), Buck Meek (guitar), Max Oleartchik (bass), and James Krivchenia (drums) take us down on Capacity, are overgrown with the wilderness of pumping souls. After 2016's stunning Masterpiece, Capacity was recorded in a snowy winter nest in upstate New York at Outlier Studio with producer Andrew Sarlo. The album jumps right into lives marked up and nipped in surprisingly swift fashion.
