Today, Big Thief unveil ‘Change’, another gorgeous track in their catalogue, and announce a spring North American tour. Following three stunning singles – ‘Little Things’, ‘Sparrow’, and ‘Certainty’, ‘Change’ is intimate and evocative, and places the listener right alongside the band. Dreamy, eerie harmonies find warmth in the simple romance of Adrianne Lenker’s lyrics; their innocent hope looking to find a simple moment of peace in chaotic times.
Listen to ‘Change’ HERE or via the player below.

PRAISE FOR ‘LITTLE THINGS’ / ‘SPARROW’
“There’s a warm, feral energy to ‘Little Things’… the rest of her band creates a textured, woolly atmosphere that swaddles [Lenker] like a blanket. By the middle of their rootsy jam session, she’s feeling both frustrated and free enough to let loose a cathartic primal scream.” – The New York Times
“The best band in the world right now? This is superb even by their high standards, a swinging, restless, high-tempo groove surging with perpetual motion.” – The Guardian, #1 Film&Music Playlist
“a testament to the way love can knock us out of orbit, then spin us back toward each other.” – NPR
“[‘Little Things’ is] an intoxicating portrait of infatuation.” – Pitchfork, Best New Track
“You could imagine ‘Little Things’ crash landing at so many turns. Instead, it glides, it shimmers. It remains in sight for just a few moments, mirage-like, a magic trick only these four can conjure.” – Stereogum
“[‘Little Things’ is] a testament to this Grammy-nominated Brooklyn quartet’s musical chemistry that the song – a whirlpool of joyful 12-string acoustic strumming, snake-like electric leads and Krivchenia’s ever-changing but powerful rhythms – not only holds together, but absolutely flies.” – Guitar World
