Big Thief have announced their second record of the year, Two Hands, alongside revealing the heartfelt lead single "Not".
"Not" is the first single from Big Thief since releasing their U.F.O.F. album back in May.
Big Thief's fourth album Two Hands was recorded 30 miles west of El Paso, at Sonic Ranch studios.
Vocalist Adrianne Lanker says of their upcoming record, "Two Hands has the songs that I’m the most proud of; I can imagine myself singing them when I’m old. Musically and lyrically, you can’t break it down much further than this. It’s already bare-bones."
Tracklist:
- Rock And Sing
- Forgotten Eyes
- The Toy
- Two Hands
- Those Girls
- Shoulders
- Not
- Wolf
- Replaced
- Cut My Hair
"Not" is out now. Two Hands is due to land on 11 October via 4AD. Big Thief will play London's Bush Hall on 19 August. Tickets go on sale Friday (16 August) from 10am BST. Find out more.
