Americana
AmericanaIndie rock

Big Thief is a Americana and Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Laraaji, Kara-Lis Coverdale, KMRU, Helena Deland and Sam Evian. Those roots explain a lot about how Big Thief arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Adrianne Lenker, Haley Heynderickx, Phoebe Bridgers, Wednesday and Sufjan Stevens, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Courtney Marie Andrews, Matilda Mann, Hamilton Leithauser, Tucker Zimmerman and Lucy Dacus, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 31 connections around Big Thief, reaching back through Laraaji and forward to Courtney Marie Andrews.
