Brooklyn indie outfit Big Thief are set to release their sophomore record Capacity on June 9 via Saddle Creek. Having already shared two beautiful tracks, “Mythological Beauty” and “Shark Smile”, they’ve returned today with another offering in the form of “Mary.” Clocking in at exactly five and a half minutes, “Mary” sets Adrianne Lenker’s hauntingly gorgeous vocals against the delicate strokes of piano and organ.
Big Thief are poised to embark on a tour in support of Capacity that will take them across North America and Europe. See below for all forthcoming dates and listen to “Mary” above. This track further solidifies Capacity as possibly being one of the best albums of 2017.
