Big Thief release a new edition of their 2016 debut album Masterpiece, the LP is available For the first time on 4AD, including the tracks “Paul”, “Real Love” and title track “Masterpiece,” all which have been remastered.

Masterpiece was recorded in July 2015 at an old house that they turned into a studio on Lake Champlain with producer Andrew Sarlo  (Bon Iver) and engineer James Krivchenia (who would go on to become Big Thief’s full-time drummer). In her words, the record tracks, “the masterpiece of existence, which is always folding into itself, people attempting to connect, to both shake themselves awake and to shake off the numbness of certain points in their life. The interpretations might be impressionistic or surrealistic, but they’re grounded in simple things.” It soars on what Big Thief fan Sharon Van Etten called “…a real journey, with intelligent stories and twist-and-turn melodies.”
