Big Thief: Our stage plot has gotten smaller and smaller and smaller the bigger the shows get

Early on in their career, Big Thief would focus on “blowing the roof off” the tiny venues they were playing, band's Buck Meek says in a big Stereogum interview. But now it’s a bit different. “The bigger the shows get in capacity, I feel like the more intimate we dig in. It catalyzes us to be physically tighter on stage. Our stage plot has gotten smaller and smaller and smaller the bigger the shows get. At this point we’re basically touching each other. My guitar head is constantly hitting into the cymbal.” In May, Big Thief released their album 'U.F.O.F.', and on October 11 they're gonna publish a new one, 'Two Hands'.
