Steal from there Big Thief but their guitarist Buck Meek, who is currently pushing his solo career once more, with the famous single double Vampire Empire and Born For Loving You but without further ado the spotlight!
To save our honor, let me say right away that Big Thief this with one of their biggest hits to date as a driving force and the agenda regarding the “beautiful complexity of gender identity and breaking destructive internal cycles“ to do speaking, to which Adrianne Lenker adds: “For me, it’s regarding getting out of toxic internal patterns – leaving the empire of energy drains that obscure pure essence, learning regarding what healthy boundaries are, and finding the power to implement them for the possibility of giving and receiving (both inwardly and outwardly) unbroken and infinite Love.”
Vampire Empire (which went through numerous variations around a surging performance on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert before producer Dom Monks “at Guissona, Spain’s Teatre de cal Eril Studio“ was recorded) rumbles with intrinsic tension over a stoic beat complete with metallic percussion and latent flower power harmony, and has a hungry urgency in its stacking. Lenker repeatedly tilts her voice over the falsetto edge and in the end even scrapes past the desperately roughened screams, while the band instrumentally increases the frequency and rattles in the chorus: a dynamic roller coaster ride of emotions in the form of an indie hit with a too abrupt end.
Born for Loving You After that, however, he takes over smoothly without any real breaking point, generally releases the pressure with a decidedly relaxed and airy folk aesthetic, maintains a gentle rhythm as a dreamy indulgence in the relaxed forward drive, amorous and simple, with a quite surprising directness in the lyrics: “From the first kiss to the first fuck/ I don’t think it’s just good luck/ Take me to the back of your pick-up truck/ Show me a thing or two/ ‚Cause I was born for loving you/ That’s just something I was made to do/ Doesn’t matter what dreams come true/ I was born for loving you“.
The fact that every element of the single, from the sound image to the voices and the instrumentation of the production, is designed to be as idiosyncratic as it is attractive right up to the fade out, also contributes to the fact that what is probably the best indie band of the last few years has had a flawless run Vampire Empire and Born For Loving You continues.
