Big Thief is a breath of fresh air in the Brooklyn indie - rock scene. Led by Adrianne Lenker's deeply personal songwriting, they first caught Saddle Creek's attention, releasing
Masterpiece and
Capacity.
U.F.O.F. marks their move to 4AD and a shift to a more atmospheric sound. 'From' transforms a simple guitar confessional from Lenker's
Abysskiss into a howling ambiance, with her voice shifting from Joni Mitchell's fragility to a Bjork - like growl. The title track 'U.F.O.F.' has meticulous rain - on - the - windows snares and wandering guitars. 'Magic Dealer' concludes the album with gentle synth pads that blend into an otherworldly ambiance. This record comes as a black vinyl pressing in a gatefold sleeve, includes a digital download, and is from the 4AD label in 2019. Reviewed by THIEF AND THE COBBLER in 05/2019.
