Their latest track, &#8216;Mythological Beauty&#8217;, is the first track from their second album, &#8216;Capacity&#8217;, set\u00a0for release on 9 June.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Big Thief are soon set\u00a0to release their second album, &#8216;Capacity&#8217;, and there is much anticipation surrounding the record. Their debut, &#8216;Masterpiece&#8217;, was met with critical acclaim, and described by the All-Music Guide as &#8220;a wall-to-wall artful expression&#8221;. Pitchfork further added to this, praising the songwriting, and the band&#8217;s sense of balance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Mythological Beauty&#8217; is a trance-psych style track, with a real California feel. The song is based on an actual event, an injury the songwriter suffered when she was very young. As Adrianne explains:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201d \u2018Mythological Beauty\u2019 reveals the origin of the scar on the right side of my head. It is a conversation between parent and child; between child and child; between the child within the parent and the child within the child; and between the parent within the child and the parent within the parent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video shows Lenker with bandmate and longtime collaborator, Buck Meek, as adventurers, taking a trip over a snow-covered mountain. Adrianne is very alert and wary, a contrast to Buck, who is shaky, and struggling to keep up. He falls, exhausted, and she picks him up, slings him over her shoulders, and keeps going. Next we see fellow bandmates James Krivchenia and Max Oleartchik (as well as Lenker&#8217;s mother) come together in a magical ritual in order to save him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pre-order &#8216;Capacity&#8217; from the band&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bigthief.net\/music-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/album\/capacity\/id1220996768\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a>, and find out more about Big Thief online on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bigthiefmusic\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bigthiefmusic\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bigthiefmusic\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/big-thief\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud<\/a>.
