Brooklyn four-piece Big Thief have announced they've signed to Saddle Creek Records, and celebrate with single "Masterpiece".
With a debut album expected later this year, "Masterpiece" is the first taste of what the group have in store. Driving rhythms, twirling refrains, and soaring chorus vocals forge a sun-blazed sound that radiates warmth. "Masterpiece" is a bold statement of intent, lyrics weaving the band's characteristic imagery with natural ease.
