I don't remember how I first got to hear Big Thief, it was probably through NPR's Tiny Desk concerts, a haven for good music. Ever since hearing them I was sold, "Mary" in particular struck a chord, so when the opportunity arose I jumped at chance to sit down with Adrianne in a small pink room in Amsterdam to talk about tapping into inspiration, creativity and songwriting, wanting to be part of something bigger, alienation in society, the album U.F.O.F., and a lot more! She struck me as somewhat shy, and not the biggest fan of having a camera shoved in her face, but I have immense appreciation for how she genuinely tried to give honest answers to the questions I was asking, as vague as they might have been at times. It was an absolute pleasure. They were slated to play a festival in the Netherlands this summer, which was cancelled for obvious reasons, so I'll have to wait a bit longer before I get to see them live.
