Love Police and Remote Control Records are sad to announce that the March 2021 Australian tour dates for Big Thief have been cancelled.
A statement from Love Police – “We are sad to announce the inevitable news that the incredible musical outfit known as Big Thief will not be touring next March as planned. The shows will not be rescheduled and refunds will be made available to ticket buyers from the relevant venue or agency. Let’s hold on to hope for us all to get through this safely, and rejoice when international live music can return to our shores. Adrianne Lenker from the band has an excellent solo album, Songs and Instrumentals, fresh out last month. Go listen to that and keep your spirits high.”

Last week the band released Demos Vol. 1 – Topanga Canyon, CA – Feb 2018, a collection of unreleased songs from the sessions that spurred U.F.O.F. and Two Hands. The demos are available to purchase with all proceeds benefiting Big Thief’s touring crew. Available to stream now, ‘Live Young Demo’ offers a taste of the collection. It opens with hypnotically repeating percussion and guitar, quietly blooming with Adrianne Lenker’s magnetic voice. Towards the track’s close, an interplay begins between the song and ambient drones and noises of unplaceable origin.
Stream / Purchase Demos Vol. 1 – Topanga Canyon, CA – Feb 2018
“We spent the month of February 2018 in a cabin in Topanga Canyon, California, recording 34 demos that were boiled down to become UFOF and Two Hands, and we’re bringing a handful into light now to share with everyone. We chose 5 of our favourites – none of which appear on any Big Thief records and a couple of which appear in different forms on Adrianne’s abysskiss. 100% of the funds we make from this release will go to our faithful road crew, whose income has been impacted by the disruption in our touring schedule. They are the lifeblood of the Big Thief shows and we care so deeply for each and every one of them.”
