I’m not sure I really count this as an out and out folk album but if it is then it’s my favourite since Callahan’s double ‘Sheepskin’

Album Rating: 4.5

"enjoyable album that's held up by its warmth and charm more than any actual standout songwriting. it's enjoyable but almost impossible to listen to from front to back. cool that sputnik is united in liking a straight up folk album like this but I don't understand why this gets so much attention when countless more interesting folk albums get overlooked"



this guy legit thinks Big Thief is a folk band

Album Rating: 5.0

obviously they're a thief band

Album Rating: 4.5

I mean, they are a folk band? Obviously their stuff covers the range between straight folk, indie folk, and indie rock, but the core of Lenker’s songwriting is definitely very much folk.

Imagine having Emo, alt-rock, and post hardcore as 3/4 of your top genres and thinking you can chip in to a discourse

cormano is the discourse how dare

I think I prefer Two Hands more but there are some super duper winners on this, too.

Two Hands is their fourth best to me, this one is a masterpiece, I can't get over how much of a joy it is to listen to



Haven't felt drawn to an album like this since Fetch the Bolt Cutters

Album Rating: 3.0

Two Hands is my favourite, even if the production plays it more straight with the core elements of the band. I just like the songwriting the most on that one, and they're great performers. Overall sound is super nice.



This one is good, too. They're a good band in general.

Album Rating: 4.7

I barely like Two Hands at all. I like "forgotten eyes". title track good too. not a fan of "not"

Album Rating: 4.0

you cannot not like not

I love 'Shoulders' on Two Hands. Yeah, just like that album in general. It's definitely my fave from the band.

Not is so fucking good

Album Rating: 3.0

Agreed. Strong and raw energy. It's a great song.



I'm not sure I like the kick drum clipping on 'Heavy Bend', personally. I think it swallows the moment a bit.

Album Rating: 4.5

"Not" is not a not good song. In fact, it is not one of their not best songs.

Album Rating: 4.5

I kinda like the kick on heavy bend. It’s intense and somehow just works for me

Simulation Swarm is just so
