Two Hands

First released2019

Big Thief recorded "Two Hands" in 2019 at Reservoir Studios in New York City and other locations, working primarily with producer Andrew Sarlo, who has been a consistent collaborator with the band. The album was recorded relatively quickly over a condensed period, reflecting the band's creative momentum following their previous release. Sarlo employed a mix of live instrumentation and studio techniques, capturing the band's raw energy while maintaining sonic clarity and depth. The production emphasized the interplay between Adrianne Lenker's vocals and the band's instrumental arrangements, with attention to dynamic range and spatial recording. "Two Hands" was released in October 2019 and marked a continuation of Big Thief's artistic evolution, building on their established sound while exploring new textural possibilities.
