Now, ahead of their monthlong U.S. tour kicking off tonight (Sept. 7) with a sold-out show in Louisville, Kentucky, the band have shared another new track, “Certainty.”
　　Big Thief wrote “Certainty” during a three-day power outage at Sam Evian’s Flying Cloud Studios in upstate New York, recording directly to a four-track. Adrianne Lenker and Buck Meek harmonize over folksy guitars and Max Oleartchik’s forceful bassline, with James Krivchenia’s shuffling drums ushering it all along. Lenker and Meek deliver knotty, pastoral lyrics like “Crooked as a crow gnawing on dawn / Shadow from the grass in the dirt on the lawn,” and they’re joined by Hannah Cohen on backing vocals as they profess a powerful kind of passion in the choruses: “My certainty is wild, weaving / For you I am a child, believing / You lay beside me sleeping on a plain / In the future.” It’s a warm, rustic love song, the kind Big Thief make sound so easy.
　　Meek recalls how “Certainty” came together in a statement:
　　On the third day of the outage, I found Adrianne on the porch writing a new song, so I sat with her and we finished it together, with the rain falling from the gutters splashing over our guitars. James and Sam saw us writing, and quickly set up a four track tape machine in the kitchen, powered by the F250 cigarette lighter out in the yard. They set up the drums by the sink, and Max plugged his bass into a bluetooth speaker set on top of the stove. Take 2 had a great bark from Sam and Hannah’s pup Jan during the solo, but we ended up going with take 3 because it took us about that long to learn the chords. Then we made pancakes and sausages and ate breakfast for dinner.
　　There’s no word yet on a new Big Thief album, but the band had an awfully prolific 2019, releasing a pair of our favorite records of that year in U.F.O.F. and Two Hands. Consider us excited for their next effort, whenever it may materialize.
