who’s gonna have an on-again off-again messy breakup relationship with me so we can start a band and write some of the best songs known to man

once again thinking about adrianne lenker and buck meek and how they’re closer than ever now, after getting divorced, and they seem to be growing together in a way and make more beautiful music. and also patti smith and robert mapplethorpe and how they were each others muse even after they stopped being lovers. and just in general the fact that relationships change all the time and probably for the better and also art never stops being part of the equation I guess

There's no reason to believe, no reason at all. Come together for a moment, look around, and dissolve.

No reason / Big Thief

never getting over this one

Big Thief’s Buck Meek Announces New Album Haunted Mountain, Shares Video for New Song: Watch

Buck Meek, the singer-songwriter who plays guitar in Big Thief, has announced his new album. The follow-up to 2021’s Two Saviors is called Haunted Mountain, and it’s out August 25 via his new label home, 4AD. The title track was co-written with Jolie Holland, who co-wrote five of the album’s 11 songs. Watch its new Riley Engemoen–directed video below.

Meek is joined on the album by guitarist Adam Brisbin, drummer Austin Vaughn, pedal steel player Mat Davidson, bassist Ken Woodward, and Meek’s brother, Dylan Meek, who plays piano and synthesizers. The album was produced by Davidson and recorded and mixed by Adrian Olsen. “The music here is an expression of a group,” Davidson said in a statement. “I asked for the job because I felt strongly that we shouldn’t bring in someone from outside the band. Otherwise, the only personal desire I had was that we be able to explore space, that we let the music open up and slow down in contrast to previous records—not in terms of tempo but rather overall movement, information between the beats.”
