Pre-Order Thread

The official Big Thief announcement for "Two Hands" has arrived, along with limited vinyl preorder via 4AD.

Also, the single "Not" has been released on streaming services, and I can confirm that "Not" is not one of the two singles on the mysterious unlabelled 7" that people started receiving last week.

I'm wondering just how "limited" the desert peach is. I broke my convention of all black Big Thief records and got the peach one this time.

Same here. I’m assuming it’s not super limited, just the indie store/band and label edition. I kind of doubt VMP will be getting another exclusive but they did do Capacity and UFOF so it’s possible. The new song is very very good too. They’re really on a fucking roll right now. One of the best bands out there at the moment.

John Darnielle on these songs:

As is generally known, whenever I get some time to myself I tend to start thinking about Ozzy Osbourne. A few years ago I wrote about 3/4 of an album’s worth of songs about Black Sabbath and/or Ozzy’s solo career, some of which were on the Marsh Witch Visions EP. When I sent Owen Pallett a link to the songs I was working on for In League with Dragons, he noticed a bunch of other songs in the folder—stuff I’d meant to say “these were for something else” about, but didn’t. Those songs were probably going to hang out in that folder for a good long while or maybe never see daylight at all. I am a shark, I seek the blood-cloud a little further ahead.

But Owen announced, in our second conversation about Dragons, that “Passaic” was the single. I was pretty surprised by this—to me it felt like a 2/3 Robert Forster + 1/3 Syd Barrett’s Opel sessions cocktail, music dear to my heart but not renowned for its chartbusting ways. Owen, however, heard the song more in the vein of “Talk About the Passion”-era R.E.M., stuff I only know in passing. Still, I was committed to having him call the shots on the arrangements, and curious about what he meant.

Speaking of singles, Peter Hughes, on hearing “Get High and Listen to the Cure”—written for Goths, attempted in the studio sessions in versions that lacked the snap of this demo—felt certain this was the song that would make us a household name. I’m fond of the song, though I don’t share his conviction that it’s the Mountain Goats song the whole world has been waiting to hear. Should this release prove Peter right, I will be quite content to concede the point.

Fun fact: I showed my parents how to burn CD-Rs awhile back when I was in middle school and the only CD my Mom ever burned was a self-curated Creed's Greatest Hits. It has every song on it twice in a row because she thought she had to use the full amount of space on each CD. It's still in her car CD changer to this day.
