good morning everyone! Just a short hoddle today as fitzie continues his holiday celebrations -
We’ve listened to so much music this year. fitzie, too, especially!
One of the things I’ve enjoyed most is finding new artists to listen to. I grew up on classic rock, as many of you know by now. The last few years I would say I have successfully explored new genres and new artists.
This year there have been three albums that I am particularly fond of: Wet Dream by Wet Leg, The Overload by Yard Act, and Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You by Big Thief.
These are my three favourite albums of 2022. Wet Leg’s is my favourite.
But - but ! - no song of theirs has struck me like the songs struck me on Big Thief’s record this year.
And so, with only a handful of days remaining in the year, I would like to celebrate Big Thief, and this record which I had bought back in February.
I’ve listened to it on many nights. Some lonely nights, some sad nights, some happy nights. But every listen, every night I listened to this, I felt safe. I felt heard. Perhaps a bit anxious - though a paradox perhaps to feel anxious and safe at the same time. Whatever.
Big Thief perform will be performing in North America next year. I would like to see them.
In the meantime I will listen to this album often, and I will also explore their previous records!
Enjoy your wednesdays - fitzie
