CAPACITY | BIG THIEF

6.29.17 I’m not sure what the average hipster attention span on albums is these days. I’m thinking it’s a month. Honestly at this age, I am proud to say, I couldn't possibly give less a fuck about what’s hip and what’s not. I usually end up really discovering an album after its been relegated to the, “that’s so 6 months ago bin”.  

A good record exists forever. So let’s get into Capacity, a record filled with stunningly beautiful subdued melodies. The quiet “Coma” and Liz Phair’s Exile In Guyville like “Mythological Beauty” are the kind of tracks that I end up replaying at least 3 times. I love discovering records like this as much as I did in the 90s. Haunting and intimate Capacity can take the listener on a journey that, at times, reveals trauma then, at time reveals light. . .
