Capacity

In the wake of their arresting debut album, Big Thief find further beauty in ever harsher realities on <i>Capacity</i>. It's bound together by singer/songwriter Adrianne Lenker, who’s achingly fragile and coldly confident within the same song, as she shares vivid, intimate details of kisses, crashes and a long-lost brother. Stark acoustic numbers like "Pretty Things" and "Coma" glow with a warm, vintage sheen, making them timeless, while expansive heartland rocker "Shark Smile" gives Lenker's wraith-like presence room to truly soar.
