User Album Review
Capacity shares a lot of the same characteristics that made its predecessor so endearing, but it also wastes little time demonstrating that this band have undergone remarkable growth in almost no time. The devastating "Mary" is the most obvious example of this: its stark yet blithe minimal arrangement allows Lenker's haunting voice to hit your ear like the softest caress. It's one of the most arresting vocal performances you'll hear all year.
Lenker's ability to weave heartbroken narratives with hopeful outcomes is a tremendous talent to have. It's never more powerful than on "Shark Smile," which tells of a woman saying goodbye to her partner after a car wreck, and "Mythological Beauty," where she recalls a traumatic experience from her own childhood. The band's insistence on treating such delicate themes as loss and distress with loose, winding rock structures really allows the songs to show off their versatility and breathe.
Capacity is both a logical successor to Masterpiece as well as a great leap forward for Big Thief. The chemistry that Lenker and her band have established on album number two is extraordinarily strong, but no matter how good they get, her songwriting seems as though it will forever be raw to the core.
