Big Thief will play their first UK shows this autumn.
The Brooklyn quartet will play headline sets in Glasgow and Leeds inbetween supporting M Ward at his Manchester show on September 1 and London's KOKO show on September 6. They will also make a stop at Festival No. 6 on September 4.
Tickets for Big Thief's headline dates are on sale now, priced at £9.00, plus fees, for Glasgow and £6.50 for Leeds, with tickets for the latter exclusively available through Dice.
The band have also announced a limited edition tour 7", which will feature a new track, Dandelion, and an acoustic version of the title track of their new album, 'Masterpiece', which came out in May. Adrianne Lenker said:
"On tour with Here We Go Magic, our van, Bonnie, broke down in the Rocky Mountains. We really didn't want to miss any shows. Fortunately, Here We Go kindly offered me the empty seat in their truck, and I went ahead to play two solo shows while the rest of the band fixed Bonnie.
After Luke [Temple of Here We Go Magic] saw the show, he had an idea to capture the simple raw form of the songs played solo. Several months later, I went out to Hudson, NY, and we filled eight cassette tapes, with one song played through a few times per 15-minute tape. It was a really relaxing way of recording. I thought we might just stuff the tapes in a shoebox in a closet and find them years later. It's nice to record without the intention of releasing the thing you're making.”
