Big Thief’s Buck Meek Announces New Album, Shares New Song: Listen

Buck Meek of Big Thief has announced a new solo album. Two Saviors is out January 15, 2021 (via Keeled Scales). The announcement arrives with his new song “Second Sight.” Listen to it below.

The new album is Buck Meek’s first since his self-titled 2018 album and the release of two new Big Thief albums last year. Two Saviors was recorded by producer and engineer Andrew Sarlo and features Adam Brisbin (guitar), Mat Davidson (bass, pedal steel, fiddle), Austin Vaughn (drums), and Buck’s brother Dylan Meek (piano, organ).

“The value in our world is built by the labor of love—a currency that accrues no debt, enriching both the giver and receiver,” Meek said in a statement. “This wealth provides the vitality needed to lift a hammer, to raise a roof, and to lay upon the eaves in silent awe of nature and civilization and the culmination of universal effort. Magic (the left hand of love?) arises from attention, and is accessible to all without prejudice. A creation from nothing, from some uncaused cause, some eternal unmoved mover.”
