Today, Big Thief announce a fall North American tour (tickets go on sale this Friday at 10am local time). In conjunction, they release Big Thief – Live at The Bunker Studio, as well as video footage of all the songs. The bulk of these recordings are culled from 2019’s widely praised Two Hands  and U.F.O.F., additionally including “Black Diamonds” from their earlier album Capacity. Directed by Marisa Gesualdi in November 2019, this collection was originally previewed with live videos of “Not” and “Cattails,” but now the whole session is available to listen to and view. Big Thief’s concerts have long been raved about, and the “Shoulders” performance offers a look into their magical chemistry.
