“Objects” is the track you play for your crunchy/jamband roommate while smoking out, and make him a Big Thief fan.

This was firmly my favourite by this band but it's testament to them how much Two Hands has shot up so highly in my estimation. How does a band like this appear fully formed out of seemingly nowhere and deliver such a large amount of quality in such relatively little time? Not heard any of the new stuff - really hope it continues the winning streak

The back half of this album is particularly incredible... they're the kind of songs that make me go, "how did they write this?"
"Black Diamonds" may be my favorite Big Thief song of all – something about how it's semi-anthemic, but also low-key and constrained; as if they're holding it back from breaking into a full-out anthem. E.g., the shade-away-from-rockin'-out guitar in the chorus, and the entire second half of the bridge ("I could never leave him... I could never leave him...") – it's like you want to pump your fist and sing along, but they're keeping it mellow, creating a kind of tension... can't think of many songs with this feel.
