Big Thief

At the time of their live performance of "Shark Smile" at the Pitchfork Music Festival in July 2018, Big Thief was riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album "Capacity," released just the previous year. This album continued to showcase their unique blend of indie rock and poignant storytelling, solidifying their place in the music scene. Their set at Pitchfork underscored the raw, emotive energy they bring to their performances, which captivated the audience. Interestingly, "Shark Smile" is one of the standout tracks from "Capacity," reflecting themes of love and loss that resonate deeply with listeners. In a rather playful sense, seeing Big Thief live is akin to diving into their lyrics; there’s an immediate connection, much like finding a familiar melody in an unfamiliar song.
