Big Thief is a fresh and dynamic presence in the Brooklyn indie rock scene. Led by Adrianne Lenker's deeply personal songwriting, they first caught Saddle Creek's eye, which released their first two records, Masterpiece and Capacity. U.F.O.F. marks their move to 4AD and a shift to a more atmospheric sound. 'From' is a reworked version of a song from Lenker's 2018 solo album Abysskiss, transforming a simple guitar confession into a collage of howling ambiance. Her voice ranges from Joni Mitchell's heart - wrenching fragility to a growl like Bjork's Post - era. The title track U.F.O.F. (the extra F means 'friend') features rain - on - the - windows snares and wandering guitars, with each note carefully placed. 'Magic Dealer' closes the album with gentle synth pads that blend into abstract, otherworldly ambiance. This limited - edition record is pressed on translucent orange vinyl and comes in a gatefold sleeve with printed lyrics. It also includes a digital download and is from the 4AD label in 2019.
To enjoy your Big Thief - U.F.O.F. vinyl LP, first, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently remove the record from the gatefold sleeve by holding it at the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Place it on the turntable and start the playback. When you're done listening, carefully put the record back in the sleeve. Keep the record in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. The digital download can be accessed through the instructions provided with the album. Just follow those steps to get your digital copy for listening on other devices.
