Big Thief formed in Brooklyn in 2015 around singer, guitarist, and songwriter Adrianne Lenker, guitarist Buck Meek, bassist Max Oleartchik, and drummer James Krivchenia. The group quickly developed a sound that could move between intimate folk, indie rock, country, noise, and loose experimental arrangements without losing the emotional directness of Lenker’s writing. That flexibility became one of the defining characteristics of a catalog built as much around the chemistry of the players as around any single genre.

The debut album, Masterpiece, arrived in 2016 with songs including “Paul,” “Real Love,” “Vegas,” and the title track. Capacity followed in 2017, expanding the band’s audience through “Mythological Beauty,” “Shark Smile,” “Mary,” and “Pretty Things.” During this period, Big Thief also released standalone recordings and experimental material outside the albums, including “Mother,” “Dandelion,” “Breathe in My Lungs,” and the unusual Wide Winged Bird EP.

Big Thief released two studio albums in 2019. U.F.O.F. leaned into atmospheric and exploratory arrangements on songs such as “Cattails,” “Contact,” “Century,” and “Terminal Paradise,” while Two Hands offered a more immediate counterpart built around “Not,” “Forgotten Eyes,” “Shoulders,” and “Wolf.” The sprawling 2022 double album Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You widened the group’s palette again, moving through folk, country, rock, and improvisational textures across 20 songs.

Oleartchik left Big Thief in 2024, and Lenker, Meek, and Krivchenia continued as a trio. Their 2025 album Double Infinity was recorded with an expanded group of collaborators and included “Incomprehensible,” “Grandmother,” “Los Angeles,” “No Fear,” and “How Could I Have Known.” Alongside the six studio albums, Big Thief’s official catalog includes demos, live sessions, charity EPs, compilation tracks, collaborations, covers, and standalone releases that document how frequently the band has worked outside the boundaries of its main albums.
