Third studio album by the indie band. 'U.F.O.F.' was recorded in rural western Washington at Bear Creek Studios. In a large cabin-like room, the band set up their gear to track live with engineer Dom Monks and producer Andrew Sarlo. Having already lived these songs on tour, they were relaxed and ready to experiment. The raw material came quickly. Some songs were written only hours before recording and stretched out instantly, first take, vocals and all.

Reviews"On U.F.O.F., Big Thief embrace their more subtle and mystical sides while capturing a wider array of landscapes...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The album is 43 minutes of gentle, crackling coos from singer-songwriter-guitarist Adrianne Lenker about what lurks in the unknown. The impact is so quiet you might miss it, but it’s revelatory enough that you can’t escape it.", "Lenker Is a Quietly Ferocious Songwriter, Conveying Remarkable Intimacy and Self-Possession Both.", "Lenker’s bloodcurdling yet somehow sublime background shrieks against Buck Meek’s sauntering blues guitar build a warm bonfire on album opener 'Contact.'", "A sense of pastoral openness is apparent on the album’s overall aesthetic as the simplicity of nature starts to clash with the otherworldly. A series of meditative thoughts over a dream-laden, hazy night in the prairies.", "The most important bit of Big Thief’s identity has stayed the same, though, with frontwoman Adrianne Lenker remaining the core singer, songwriter and heartbeat of the band, her whispering voice and illustrative storytelling front and center."

Additional InformationThe indie folk-rockers' impressionistic third album is a foray into artful album rock that incorporates improvisation and samples.
